Background
editBegnagrad was formed in 1976 by Bratko Bibič (accordion), Bogo Pečnikar (clarinet), Vlado Špindler (bass guitar), and Igor Muševič (drums), guitarists Bojan Zidarić, Igor Leonardi and Boris Romih cooperating with them on different occasions.[1] The band performed avant-garde rock with the elements of free jazz, swing, traditional music, but also of pop, and soon gained attention of the audience with their unconventional compositions.[1] After their performance at the prominent Youth Festival in Subotica in 1977, they recorded part of their songs in Radio Novi Sad studios with producer Anđelko Maletić.[1] The recordings should have appeared on their first album, however that record was never released, and the material was kept by Maletić in his personal archive.[1] The group released their first official album, Begnagrad, in 1982, spending the following two years performing mostly in Western Europe and disbanding in 1984.[1] In 1990, former members of the band released the material from the 1977 sessions as the band's second studio album.[1]
