Branimir Štulić - Balkanska rapsodija

Branimir “Johnny” Štulić (born 11 April 1953, Skopje, FPR Yugoslavia) is a Yugoslav singer-songwriter, musician and author, best known for being the frontman of the popular Yugoslav rock group Azra. He is known for his charismatic stage performances and inspiring song lyrics that often combined rock poetry with a strong sense for social commentary, which is the cause for him becoming a cult figure on R’n’R scene.

After releasing seven studio and two live albums with the band Azra, has been living in the Netherlands since 1986.
From 1989 performed under his name with live support of Sevdah Shuttle Band, and released solo studio albums "Balkanska rapsodija" (Jugoton, 1989) and next year "Balegari ne vjeruju sreći" ("Voljela me nije nijedna", "Men se dušo od tebe ne rastaje", "Usne vrele Višnje" - covers of "Lilly Of The West" from the repertoire of the absolute legend and veteran, the genius Bob Dylan) in which he blends Macedonian folklore, the English language, and domestic pop history.

When it became obvious to him that Yugoslavia will collapse, Štulić in 1991 in Sarajevo recorded the album "Sevdah za Paulu Horvat". The third solo album by he was recorded during 1991 in Sarajevo and the Netherlands, and was only released by the record label Komuna (1995).
This is probably the only Johnny's album that had a pirate (bootleg) release on a compact cassette before the official release. The cassette was released by the phantom company VG from Belgrade, which was actually backed by the production company TIOLI (Take It Or Leave It Records).

After most Yugoslav Wars ended in 1995, Štulić recorded two solo albums, both published in Belgrade, Serbia, with the last "Blase" in 1997.

He typically does not give interviews and is very protective of his privacy. He states he has no interest in going back to his rock career, but in the past few years he has recorded and posted on YouTube over 600 traditional songs, hit covers and some original material.
He works on the Serbo-Croatian translation of many ancient and medieval works.
