Рок Восточной Европы (forum "East Rock")

Mikroorganizmi (Микроорганьизмия, English: Microorganisms) is a studio album released in 1996 by Montenegrin-Serbian musician Rambo Amadeus (credited on the cover as Ranko Amadeus) and Goran Vejvoda. It features inaccessible, moody sound garnered with terse, experimental lyrics marking a sizable departure from Rambo Amadeus' usual antics.
Born June 14, 1963 in Kotor, Montenegro, he is one of the most interesting phenomena on music scene(s) of the former Yugoslavia.
His songs combine satirical lyrics on the nature of common people and silliness of local politics. He uses a mixture of musical styles and self-conscious ironic wit (for example, one of his aliases is Rambo Amadeus Svjetski Mega Car (RASMC) = Rambo Amadeus World Mega Emperor). His scene name itself is made from John Rambo and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Known also as a charming king of jovial pop, his concerts are never mere repetitions of recorded songs, but a mixture of musical improvisation and humor exploiting all aspects of human nature in a crude manner.
He is a graduate of the University of Belgrade's Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences and he also completed six grades of elementary music school for piano before dropping out.
Before taking up music as a career choice, Rambo was an accomplished competitive sailor. Between 1972 and 1984, he represented Yugoslavia in numerous international regattas.
He began to sing and compose during first year of high school (gymnasium) which soon led to involvement with various local bands in Herceg Novi and Podgorica. One of his first performances saw him play the mandolin in an orchestra that entertained guests of Herceg Novi's Plaza hotel.
In 1985, he moved to Belgrade in pursuit of higher education. Parallel to his studies, he also played with various struggling bands and musicians. Wikipedia.
