Riblja Čorba
Riblja Čorba was formed in 1978 in Belgrade, and with their very first single, “Lutka sa naslovne strane”, they opened a new chapter in Yugoslav rock music. Led by charismatic frontman Bora Đorđević, the band became a symbol of rebellious, honest expression. Landmark albums like Kost u grlu, Mrtva priroda, Buvlja pijaca and Istina shaped the spirit of an era, with a sound that was raw, direct, and always on the edge of provocation. Songs such as “Ostani đubre do kraja”, “Pogledaj dom svoj, anđele”, and “Amsterdam” became part of the region’s musical history.
Over the decades, the band suffered great losses – guitarist Rajko Kojić, bassist Miša Aleksić, and in 2024, the legendary Bora passed away. Still, the band continued to live and create.
Riblja Čorba continues to perform with the same fire, while its legacy lives on through more than 20 studio albums, thousands of concerts, and generations who grew up with their songs.
The role of lead singer was taken over by Čika Joca Zmaj, the band’s longtime backing vocalist and a member of the crew since 2012. In this way, the spirit of Čorba has been preserved without introducing any new faces.
What makes this next chapter particularly special is the fact that no one replaced Bora—instead, the band continued to breathe as one in its standard lineup:
- Miroslav Milatović
- Vicko – drums
- Vidoja Božinović
- Džindžer – guitar
- Nikola Zorić Nidža – keyboards
- Jovan Jeftić Čika
- Joca Zmaj – vocals
- Ivan Stanković Ivke – bass
The first performance without Bora took place in June 2025 at the Šabac Hippodrome, marked by powerful emotions and thunderous support from the audience.
