Orpheus Listening Challenge 2024: #33 An album featuring children (38th album)

What made Bijelo Dugme produce this album is still a mystery. It's probably a product of a tumultuous time for the band in the early 80s, where they struggled to find their footing amongst the new and budding stars of the new wave movement.

In short, Goran Bregović had an idea to record an album for a children's TV show with Seid Memic Vajta, a multifaceted singer, but instead got an 11-year-old kid as a substitiution adter Vajta canceled due to personal reasons. What we got is a cruel experiment that scrapes the membranes of my ears. Children's music with the backing of Bijelo Dugme? It's as bad as the idea sounds on paper. But hey, a product of a moment at its finest.
