Background
Trag VjeÄnosti released their first war song in 1992, named Stazama garde, which achieved great popularity. Based on this momentum, the band would release a solo album in collaboration with the Brod branch of the HVIDR, in order to help the families of wouded and killed soldiers.[1]
Release
The album was recorded in May 1993 in Zagreb in studio MlinÄiÄ, while the sound processing would be done by Croatiaton. The majority of the songs would be written by Ivana GlavaÅ¡eviÄ. As vocalist, Zvonimir ÄosiÄ - Äosa would be the main one, while Predrag MatasoviÄ performed on only two songs (A4 and B4). The majority of the songs would be patriotic in nature, but it also contained a few love songs. The album also contained the song Gospa Marija, an adaptation of the poem by the same name written by famous Croatian writer Antun Gustav MatoÅ¡ (1873-1914) and a readaptation of their famous Stazama garde.
