VALENTINO
Valentino is a pop rock band originally formed in Sarajevo, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia in 1982, and currently based in Belgrade, Serbia.
Formed and led by guitarist and principal songwriter Zijad "Zijo" Rizvanbegović and fronted by vocalist Suad Jakirlić "Jaka", Valentino gained large popularity in Yugoslavia in the mid-1980s with their pop rock and power pop songs with folk music influences. The band recorded three albums with Jakirlić, before he departed and was replaced by Gordan "Gogo" Prusina. After recording two more albums, the group disbanded with the outbreak of Yugoslav Wars in 1991. Rizvanbegović reformed Valentino in 2001, taking over the vocal duties himself. The band has released two studio albums since and a number of new songs on compilation albums and as singles.
