Noćas Nisu Sjale Zvezdice Na Nebu

Released in 1966 on the PGP RTB label, this EP captures Duško Jakšić during a period when the Yugoslav music scene was heavily influenced by Italian canzone and romantic European pop-folk traditions. Jakšić was a prominent baritone whose career spanned the transition from post-war schlager to the modernized orchestral pop of the mid-sixties, serving as a staple of Radio Belgrade and regional variety programming.

The recording reflects the aesthetic sensibilities of the mid-1960s Yugoslav record industry, which balanced local traditional sentiments with accessible, sweeping arrangements. As a representative release of the era, the record highlights the collaborative studio environment of PGP RTB, where arrangements often leaned on sophisticated brass and string sections intended for listeners who valued emotive vocal performances over the emerging rock and roll trends of the time.
