Ritam

Article summary

Ritam (Serbian Cyrillic: Ритам, transl. Rhythm) was a Serbian and Yugoslav popular culture magazine. Started in February 1989, it continued under various subtitles and publishing companies until 1995. Initially a monthly publication (from 1989 until 1991), Ritams publishing frequency became fairly irregular from the beginning of the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1991 until the end of its run. The magazine's original 1989–1991 incarnation is often described as one of Yugoslavia's most influential music and popular culture publications.
