YU ROCK FROM SIXTIES

     DEL FINI  second EP from 1967.

     When it comes to 60's, there was thousands of rock'n'roll and garage bands all over Yugoslavia. However, only a very few bands made any records. This is the story of a band which recorded perhaps the most exciting garage rock EP in the 60's. Their name is  DEL FINI  and they come from Zagreb. Several students with a professional singer Zdenko Juran formed Delfini in 1963. They played together for several years until record label Jugoton cut them a deal and published their first EP record. Their energy and creativity especially unleashed in an explosive James Brown cover "I'll Go Crasy". However, the real highlight is an addictive blues version of the Macedonian folk song "Kaleš bre Anđo" , with an amazing keyboard solo by Petko Kantardžijev. Nikola Sarapa also delivered a fine guitar work. Much later in his career, Sarapa had an excellent hard rock band called Stop mostly based on Jimmy Hendrix covers. Unfortunately, the EP was also the end ...

    DEL FINI   started in 1963 in Zagreb, Croatia (ex-Yugoslavia).They recorded their first EP, with great cover of "Gloria", after playing on festival "Zagreb 66". Also on 7"EP "Zagreb 66" there is one song where they play with singer Zvonko Špišić. On their 2nd 7" is already famous 60s punk killer "Bebel". His music is raw rhythm'n'blues garage punk. They played abroad - also in Star Club, Hamburg. (from wanadoo.nl)
