indexi

Indexi was a Bosnian rock band from Sarajevo, widely regarded as one of the most influential acts in the Yugoslav rock scene. Formed in the mid-1960s, the band developed a distinctive sound that combined melodic guitar work, strong rhythms, and arrangements that sometimes drew on regional folk motifs. Over the years, Indexi's lineup changed, but they remained a central figure in the Sarajevo music scene and in the wider Yugoslav rock community.

During the 1960s and 1970s they released several studio albums and numerous singles. Their songs, sung in Serbo-Croatian, were popular on radio and in live venues across Yugoslavia, contributing to the mainstream acceptance of rock music in the region. In the 1970s they incorporated more sophisticated production and elements of progressive rock while retaining accessible melodies.

Indexi's influence extends beyond their recordings; they helped inspire later Bosnian and regional rock bands and are frequently cited in histories of Yugoslav popular music. After ceasing activity in the late 1980s, the group eventually disbanded. In subsequent years, reissues and compilations have kept their legacy accessible to new audiences.

Indexi is remembered as a foundational act in the Bosnian and Yugoslav rock canon, representing a bridge between early beat influences and more experimental, studio-oriented approaches that characterized the era.
