Južni Vetar

Južni Vetar (Serbian Cyrillic: Јужни Ветар, "South Wind") is a Yugoslav music band famous for recording with many famous folk, pop-folk and turbofolk singers from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The band was founded by Miodrag M. Ilić (nickname Mile Bas), an experienced musician from Leskovac, a town in southern Serbia (hence the name "Southern Wind").[1]

The band's golden age lasted from 1982 until 1991, when the beginning of Yugoslav Wars forced the members to split. The band reached the peak of its popularity with the 1986 album "Pristajem na sve", which sold over 500.000 copies.[2] One of the band's singers, Šemsa Suljaković, recorded a solo album "Što me pitaš kako živim", which officially sold 1 million copies.[3] Early on, the band developed a very recognizable sound and released dozens of albums, including the following singers:
