about
Saniboj Žugić was a keyboardist and electrical engineer whose talent was known only from stories heard in Zagreb’s music backrooms. The mystery was lifted when his master tapes were found in the summer of 2012, in the basement of the house where Saniboj died 10 years prior. A passionate fan of King Crimson and Genesis, Saniboj played keyboards in underground rock bands Sona and Homo Kiborg, and earlier, in the early 70s in the psych-folk formation Hamatri. Also fairly unknown is the fact that he played in one of the first lineups of Azra, while they were still going under the name Balkan Sevdah Band. According to Mišel, singer of the Zagreb punk band Blitzkrieg, the lyrics of Azra’s first single Balkan were influenced by Saniboj’s farewell letter to Branimir Štulić. The five songs that survived Saniboj recorded himself in the period between 1979 and 1983 and are completely electronic, recorded with a Wurlitzer, Fender Rhodes and SANISINT, a prototype synthesizer which he created in 1977.
