History
Riblja čorba (Рибља чорба) is a Serbian (ex Yugoslavia) rock band. Their presence on the scene lasted from 1978 to today. They reached their peak of popularity in the early 1980s, but it has been steadily declining since, partly due to the controversial political attitudes of the band leader Bora Đorđević.
The band's first single, “Lutka sa naslovne strane” (The Doll On The Front Cover), a song about a fame-hungry model was a major hit, ensuring immediate popularity for the group and a warm reception for the first album, 1979’s “Kost u grlu” (Bone In The Throat). Year 1981 brought two further albums “Pokvarena mašta i prljave strasti” (Perverted Daydreams and Sordid Passions) and, most notably “Mrtva priroda” (“Still Life”). Whilst their first two albums had been very gritty, Mrtva Priroda had a more sophisticated sound and paved the way for the series of best-sellings albums throughout the 1980s that ensured the band's popularity throughout most of the former Yugoslavia. These are the albums for which the group is generally most fondly remembered.
