==Biography==
===1970s: Formation and initial success===
Divlje Jagode were formed in 1977 in [[Bihać]], [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]] by guitarist [[Zele Lipovača|Sead "Zele" Lipovača]] (a former "Biseri", "Selekcija" and "Zenit" member). A very talented guitar player from his early years, Lipovača was what was considered to be a local wonderkid. He was 22 years old when he formed the band. The first Divlje Jagode lineup consisted of vocalist Ante "Toni "Janković, bass guitarist Nihad Jusufhodžić (a former "Zenit" member), keyboardist Mustafa Ismailovski (a former "Grešnici" member) and drummer Adonis Dokuzović (a former "Novi Akordi" member).<ref>Duraković, Jasmina (
===1980–1986: Continued success and breakthrough===
In 1980, Divlje Jagode continued their activity with the new lineup: Janković, Lipovača, drummer Nasko Budimlić and bass guitarist, then relatively unknown, [[Alen Islamović]]. Unsatisfied by their previous record label's work in promotion of their first album, Lipovača makes a decision to move to [[Sarajevo]], and to local major record label, [[Diskoton]]. With the new lineup, the band recorded their second album, entitled ''Stakleni Hotel'' ("Glass Hotel"), which marked their complete shift towards [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]]. The album was recorded in [[Belgrade]], and released through Diskoton in February
In 1982, lead singer Ante Janković left the band. He decided to start a career as a solo artist, and was dissatisfied with the band's direction toward a much heavier sound. They parted ways amicably and Janković would be seen in following years many times as a frequent collaborator and guest musician, on several occasions. In September 1983, Divlje Jagode released their third studio album ''[[Motori]]'' ("Motorcycles"), and first with Alen Islamović on vocals. The album was recorded in "Music Park Studios" in [[Bad Homburg vor der Höhe]], Germany, and produced by Theo Werdin. This album was a turning point for the band and is considered to be a major breakthrough in their carrier, so far. The title track became a huge hit, and was considered to be their most famous song, even to this day. Songs "Šejla" (which Islamović wrote for his ex-girlfriend), "Zagrizi rokenrol" and ballads "Nasmiješi se" and "Ne želiš kraj" (written by Janković, before he left the band), were well accepted and brought many new fans for the band. On the tour that followed ''Motori'' release, on several occasions they were joined by Janković, their former singer. Following this album, Divlje Jagode was considered as one of the most popular bands in the [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|country]]. They were recipients of several music awards, and were included in many popular magazines at the time.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.crorec.hr/crorec.hr/izvodjac.php?OBJECT_ID=101038&x=13&y=10|title=DIVLJE JAGODE - CROATIA RECORDS|website=Crorec.hr|access-date=5 October 2020}}</ref>

In 2006, Galić returns to Divlje Jagode, along with long-time member, bass player Zlatan Ćehić. In April, they release a new single, "Piramida". The same year they release a "box set" collection, containing all studio albums released so far in their career, along with the newest single "Piramida" and Lipovača's solo album ''Magic Love''. In spring 2007, they released another single, re-recorded version of song "Zvijezda sjevera", sung by Ćehić, along with music video. During the same year, the band announced that they will start working on a follow-up studio album. In July, together with Galić's previous band "Opća Opasnost", they play as an opening act at [[Whitesnake]] concert in [[Osijek]].
