Anecdotes from the life of Gjorge Balasevic
We lost the singer-songwriter last year Gjorgje Balasevic which was one of the foundations of the Yugoslav music art. His songs are well known to us, and these are interesting things you may not have known about the poet, singer, artist and emotionalist.
Jolie's favorite song - Portrait mivota mog
It is very difficult for all the fans of Gjorgje Balasevic to single out a favorite song and Jole himself did it with a heavy heart. His favorite song is "Portret života mog". The verse that can mark many decades before us refers to the good and bad moments in life: “He added the right colors to that portrait of my life. Waves of blue, shade of lava, vortex of green. Black did not spare him either, but without him white would fade even more. "Without black, white would not be worth it."
„Prave si boje dodala na taj portrait života mog. Talase plave, nijansu lave, vrtloge zelenog. A crni nisi edetedela, ali bez nje bi bi bela još izbledela. Bez crne bela ne bi vredela “
Balasevik wrote songs about Zdravko Colic
When two musical visions merge, the product goes down in history. Gjorge Balasevic wrote many songs about Zdravko Colic. Some of them are: "Zbog tebe", "Mađarica", "Zlosčin i kazna", "Svadbarskim sokakom", "Sačuvaj me bože njene ljubavi". If you could get a little better into the lyrics and the music, it would be quite clear that these songs were written by the Pannonian Sailor.
Gjorgje Balasevic was also a book writer
In case you did not know, the books were created as an upgrade to his songs. Everything that could not fit into the song exists in the books. We believe that Gjorgje Balasevic would have had a lot more to tell us, if the unfortunate event had not happened. It remains for us to read his reading, to practically study life through his sentences. The theme of his books is different. Whether he talks about the futility of the war or the events of his life, he does it in a masterful way.

They were great friends with Miroslav Ilic
Although one would say that because of the different genres of creativity they can not be imagined together, but this was not the case. Jole greatly appreciated the work of Miroslav Ilic, and on the other hand, Miroslav was delighted with the work of Balasevic. Mirsolav once invited him to a concert, to which Gjorge Balasevic responded. And he was late, but he was known for it. On that occasion, Jole wore a black shirt, which he later gave to Miroslav Ilic. Even after so many years, Miroslav Ilic kept that shirt and wore it on a show dedicated to the life of Miroslav Ilic.

He was attacked because of a song
You must have heard the song "Računajte na nas". That song has a strong political background. It was because of this song that Balasevic was called a Yugonostalgic, but he continued on his own. This song was a real anthem at the time it was released and many could identify with it.
