Biseri

Article summary

Biseri (trans. The Pearls) were a Yugoslav rock band formed in Zagreb in 1965. During the 1960s Biseri performed beat and rhythm and blues. In the 1970s they moved towards pop rock, but failed to achieve larger popularity and disbanded in 1980. Although they were not among the earliest Yugoslav rock bands, Biseri, as other Yugoslav 1960s rock groups, played a pioneering role on the Yugoslav rock scene.
