N2 - Bijelo dugme, one of the most commercially successful as well as artistically refined groups of the late seventies, was known as the founder of a musical style called 'Yugo-Rock' with numerous references to Balkan 'melos'. Bijelo dugme was also known as a pro-Yugoslav group which correctly diagnosed the political situation during the mid eighties and put their opinions into numerous songs. Multinational groups fell apart and the federal music events lost their importance. The multicultural soundscape broke down into a number of monocultural soundscapes with stronger or weaker references to the global musical trends. Musicians had to adjust to the new situation. Some of them changed their profession, some chose exile, so that especially in London there is a strong community of musical emigrants from all parts of ex-Yugoslavia. The Yugoslav music industry was never centralized as in other socialistic countries.
