“Ne ljuti se, Dragana” (1979) – Slavko Perović * Written by Branislav Radonjić * Produced by Slobodan Nikolić * LP: Ne ljuti se, Dragana * Label: Jugoton
Slavko Perović is a Serbian singer with a backlog of participation in the mariachi craze of fifties-sixties Yugoslavia. His 1979 LP Ne ljuti se, Dragana (don’t be angry, Dragana) is an affable assortment of acoustic schlager, with four of the ten songs, including the title track, being compositions credited to Branislav Radonjić. He’s the one who also leads the trio of musicians (two guitars and a flute, an unusual combo for the genre) who accompany Perović. All of the rest are traditional.
