Born Fahreta Jahić in Tuzla on October 20, 1960, Lepa Brena is arguably the most well-known and successful singer from the region of former Yugoslavia. She and her band Slatki Greh (“Sweet Sin”) were the first to combine traditional Yugoslav folk music (in particular, the traditional “kolo” dance) with modern pop elements, and went on to inspire and influence an entire generation of musicians.
