Remembering Yugoslavia

Long Live Lepa Brena!

Peter Korchnak with Olga Dimitrijević Episode 58

Lepa Brena was the most famous Yugoslav singer of the 1980s. Her popularity during the decade eclipsed that of the late Tito. She remains the greatest and best-selling Yugoslav pop star. But Lepa Brena was more than a pop icon: she continues to personify Yugoslavia for many to this day. What's her story? And what does she mean for Yugoslavia's memory?

With Olga Dimitrijević. Featuring a cover of "Jugoslovenka" by Inje.
