about
Kemal Malovčić (born 6 May 1951 in Sanski Most, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Yugoslavia) is a popular Bosnian turbo-folk singer. Malovčić's career began in 1968 at the age of 17 years when he released his first single 'Oko Sane' (Around The Sana), referring to the Sana river, on which his home town of Sanski Most is located. His older brother Džemal Malovčić helped him through his early career writing both the music and lyrics for him. However, his greatest success came with the Yugoslav band Južni Vetar between 1985 and 1991. In 1985 he released his best-known album 'Okreće Se Kolo Sreće' (The Wheel Of Fortune Turns) which sold more than 600,000 copies. During the Bosnian war Malovčić left Južni Vetar. He no longer wanted to belong to a band which was at the forefront of the turbo-folk movement of Serbia. Whilst the civil war raged, Malovčić campaigned for humanitarian assistance for his country and gave a number of humanitarian concerts. Malovčić lives in Vienna, Austria with his wife, Fadila, and three sons, Džanan, Kenan and Adin.
