Zlatko "Zlaja" Arslanagić (born 22 September 1964) is a retired Bosnian and Yugoslav musician, songwriter, composer and writer, best known as former member of the popular pop rock band Crvena Jabuka.
On 18 September 1986, while on their way to Mostar to hold the first concert on the album promotional tour, the band members were involved in a car accident which killed Dražen Ričl and Aljoša Buha.
Dabbling in prose writing, poetry, and graphic design, the youngster further developed a hobby of coming up with fictional bands' record covers with elaborate sleeves and liner notes.
[3] Arslanagić founded his first musical group, power pop band Ozbiljno Pitanje (Serious Question), with guitarist and vocalist Dražen Ričl "Para" and Saša Kontić.
[5] On a single-lane bidirectional road next to the Neretva river near the town of Jablanica, the Zastava 750 driven by Arslanagić veered into oncoming traffic colliding head-on with a truck.
[4] The group made a full-scale return to the scene and to nationwide popularity with their third studio album Sanjati (To Dream), Arslanagić taking over the role of the band's songwriter and the unofficial leader.
[6] During the 1980s and 1990s, Arslanagić wrote songs for Boris Novković, Dino Merlin, Mladen Vojičić "Tifa", Rade Šerbedžija, Plavi Orkestar and other acts from the former Yugoslav region.
A year later, he turned to prose with his collection of 12 short stories, each dealing with Sarajevan emigrants and refugees in London, entitled Možda će sutra biti sunčan dan (It Might Be a Sunny Day Tomorrow).
