Once upon a time (2003) in a dubious corner of the world and a land called Bosnia and Herzegovina, a group of friends decided to form a band. But this was no ordinary band, and they did not form under ordinary circumstances. True, along with local Balkan flavors, musical influences came from all over the world: ska, punk, reggae, electronic, hip-hop. Yet, there was no music industry, few concerts, and no space for cultural or political expression among the new crop of plugged in youth. In fact, the entire region was reeling from a deep moral and economic post-war stagnation. It was from this environment that Dubioza Kolektiv was born, and not quietly, but kicking and screaming, presenting no-go topics front and center, and demanding to be heard. In doing so, they created a phenomenon.
Dubioza Kolektiv’s Latest album AGRIKULTURA was released in May 2022. The album, featuring songs in the local language, was written during the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns. While the world was surfing the Internet and everyone was glued to their screens of all sizes - Dubioza started thinking about the future of agriculture and who is going to produce the food if everyone ends up working in the IT sector. The album was announced with 3 singles “Kafana”, “Bubrezi” and “Može li?“, accompanied with music videos that have already been viewed over 8 million times on YouTube.
