...Somewhere from afar
I hear the tambourine
By Moon's river
Gypsies come
Somewhere from afar...
 
...If I die now
Buy tambourine
Play me softly..."
 
From above song Daire ("Tambourine"), 1977
 
RIP Boris

From Yugoslav version of Hair musical, 1969; that play at Belgade's Atelje 212 theatre was very influenced on Yugoslavian prog and rock & pop music in general.





From wiki:

Quote (...) Another notable production was in the former Yugoslavia (Belgrade), the first Hair to be produced in a communist country.[51] Directed by local female producer-director Mira Trailović[52] and attended by president Tito, the Belgrade production was a favorite of authors Rado and Ragni, with Ragni declaring "there's no middle class prejudices here". Local references in the script included barbs aimed at Mao Zedong as well as Albania, Yugoslavia's traditional rival.

The longest epic (instrumental) track by Smak is Put od balona ("A Baloons Path") from their debut album released in 1975.
 
 
 
 
The track was a regular part of their set-lists for the gigs in 70s.
