Toma Zdravković: Difference between revisions

'''Tomislav''' "'''Toma'''" '''Zdravković''' ({{Lang-sr-Cyrl|Томислав "Тома" Здравковић}}; 20 November 1938 – 30 September 1991) was a SerbianYugoslav [[pop-folk]] singer-songwriter and recording artist.

Zdravković was an outstanding figure on the [[SerbianYugoslav folk music|Serbian folk]] scene; a true [[bohemianism|bohemian]] and a [[poet]], he lived up to his sad songs. The songs, although having the form of Serbian folk music, had the spirit of [[chanson]]s. He had a characteristic [[baritone]] [[vocal]], not too powerful but warm, resembling that of [[Charles Aznavour]]. The [[violin]] underlined the melancholic atmosphere in most songs. Most of the [[lyrics]] were written by Zdravković, devoted to unfortunate love, and love-suffering while drinking and singing in omnipresent [[kafana]]s. He was married four times.
