Artan Lili

Zappa Base

One of the most active concert bands in the region has announced an impressive list of autumn performances, including two concerts in Belgrade as part of their regional tour on 8th and 9th November at Zappa Base. 'Dear Belgrade audience, it's time for our well-known November concerts in Belgrade. It's time for the heart on home ground. The Zagreb band 'Djeca' will perform as guests at the concert, a brilliant new discovery on the regional scene, and VJ Extraordinary Bob is in charge of making it a spectacle. As there is always a high demand for tickets for the Belgrade concert, we decided right away to go for a double date. Choose the day. See you at Zappa,' enthusiastically stated the band members. Since their first single 'Džoni' was released in November 2012, Artan Lili has undoubtedly been one of the most frequently mentioned bands in the region when talking about new forces in the local and regional music scene. The group has solidified over time into a recognizable quartet: Bojan Slačala – bass and vocals, Romana Slačala – vocals and daire, Marko Benini – drums, and Ivan Skopulovič – guitar. Artan Lili is currently releasing single videos from their 3rd album in collaboration with their peers from the scene. The single 'Rokenrol posle rokenrola' was created in collaboration with Zoran Kostić Caneta, the frontman of the group Partibrejkers, while the single 'Otrov' was realized with Nikola Vranjković. The latest in the series, the single 'Hardkor i pank,' was created in collaboration with Zoran Marinković, the frontman of the group Bjesovi. ROKENROL POSLE ROKENROLA: Watch on YouTube OTROV: Watch on YouTube HARDKOR I PANK: Watch on YouTube The new songs as well as the reissue of the already cult first two albums of the group were released in a regional cooperation by two major record labels - the Zagreb Croatia Records (formerly Jugoton) and the Belgrade PGP-RTS. They were the winners of the 1st Milan Mladenović Foundation award established in 2019 for the composition 'D.E.P.R.A.,' meeting all the criteria that make a musical work exceptional. 'It is original, deeply individual, stylistically consistent, and intelligent author and performer achievement that treats talent and skill without calculations and cynicism, with authentic emotion and corresponding respect,' as stated in the statement regarding the award. Their singles top all relevant radio and TV charts in the country and region. The most interesting placement is the song 'Ako stanemo tu,' which immediately took the top spot on Diskomer Studio B's list as a novelty, something only achieved before them by Bijelo Dugme, Ekatarina Velika, and Kal in the 40 years of the list's existence.
