Večeras vas zabavljaju muzičari koji piju (English: "The Hard-Drinking Musicians Will Be Your Entertainment, Tonight") is the fifth studio album from Serbian and former Yugoslav rock band Riblja Čorba.
[2] Although the band's guitarist Momčilo Bajagić had already been set to venture out on his own, he still contributed significantly to Večeras vas zabavljaju muzičari koji piju by authoring two and co-writing another two songs.
Furthermore, drummer Vladimir Golubović [sr] who worked with Bajagić on his side project, Pozitivna geografija, was brought in to temporarily replace Vicko Milatović who had been away serving his mandatory Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) stint.
Sequestered and reliant on one another within the band, we all suffered from some sort of depression [...] Turning inwards, I started to isolate myself inside my own vicious circle, finding consolation in alcohol!
[3]After completing the recording sessions in Ljubljana, the album's producer Kornelije Kovač and band members (minus guitarist Bajagić) went to London to mix the material.
[4] Additionally, he also put together a supporting band and booked a debut show in April 1984 at Belgrade's Dom Sindikata before also adding a prior warm-up club gig at Zagreb's Kulušić.
[4] His album, named Pozitivna geografija and also produced by Kornelije Kovač, would soon be completed and released by PGP-RTB and met with extremely positive critical and commercial notices.
Immediately after the album's release, state censorship board declared the songs "Mangupi vam kvare dete" and "Besni psi" "ethically unacceptable".
Due to its lyrics "Grčki šverceri, arapski studenti, negativni elementi, maloletni delikventi i besni psi" ("Greek smugglers, Arab students, negative elements, juvenile delinquents, and rabid dogs"), the embassies of three Arab countries as well as Zaire protested, complaining that songwriter Bora Đorđević had equated foreign students in SFR Yugoslavia with rabid dogs.
