It was only seven years later that the rst female singer, Đurđica Barlović, joined composerRajkoDujmićandguitaristVedranZec. How would you describe your chapterwithNovi Fosili? -When I joined thegroup Iwasn’t quite 20 years old. Prior to that I’dbeen a littlegirl, a high school kid, just enrolled in sociology studies. Iwent throughtheschoolof lifewith Fosili,bothprofessionallyandprivately. Itwas inthespringof1983that Iwascalledtomeet withSlobodan‘Moka’Momčilovićand,while chatting over co ee, he didn’t beat around the bush for too long. He immediately told me that Đurđica was leaving the band, because of her two young sons, and suggestedthat I takeherplace.Hegavemeuntil the next day to consider it. I spokewithmy parents, who weren’t really thrilled. However, I called himthe next day to say that I agreed. Thetitleof theconcert‘For thegood old days’, along with the band’s eponymous hit song, illustrates thedecades duringwhich theNovi Fosili –with theirmusical notes, dizzyingly high record sales and numerous tours – shoneandburnedinYugoslavia, amongthe Diaspora and around the Balkans... It is thus no surprise that the tour, which begins in Zagreb, continues after Belgrade to Ljubljana and Skopje. SanjaDoležal, leapt into the shoes that werewornwonderfullybyĐurđicaBarlović.
