[edit] Overview

This album was released by the Zagreb based Suzy record label in 1980. The title of the album and the record sleeve holds a reference to the Two Tone movement and included the ska songs Crno-Bijeli Svijet and the hit Mi plešemo (We dance). The lyrics "(...)smrt dječaka u Kabulu" (death of a small boy in Kabul) in the reggae themed Neka te ništa ne brine refer to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. The song is also included in the soundtrack for the ex-Yugoslav New Wave music-related film Dečko koji obećava. The album is an important record from the Yugoslav New Wave era. A cover version of the main single Crno bijeli svijet is included in the tribute album Yugoton (ZIC ZAC Music Company and BMG Poland) named after the former Yugoslav record company Jugoton. The album Yugoton features cover versions of popular ex-Yugoslav songs performed by Polish artists.
