History of the
Sarajevo pop-rock group Regina, whose members, as far back as 1990 "decided"
to get seriously involved in music life, didn't have a proper vocalist
at that time. After unsuccessful auditions, Davor Ebner appeared quite
unexpectedly. At that time he was the vocalist in the Sarajevo group Konvoj
(Convoy).
With a recognizable sound of the Sarajevo pop-rock school, precisely adjusted
to various generations, teenagers as well as admirers of a "harder"
sound, the songs from Regina's first album were very accessible. Songs
Sleep! ,Do Not Ask Me and The Way She Was, marked the first album, released
in 1990. Their second album, named Love Is Not For Us, released in 1991,
crossed the borders of Bosnia & Herzegovina, achieving success all
over former Yugoslavia. The war circumstances separated the band members
and the band ceased their work.
The new millennium marked the beginning of separate careers for Covic,
under the name Aco Reginal and for Ebner with the group Gruntibugli, which
were overshadowed by the success of Regina. These independent careers
ended in 2004 when, after meeting in Belgrade, they agreed to restore
Regina in its former cast: Aleksandar Covic, Davor Ebner, Bojan Milicevic
and Denis Cabric. And after ten month preparations Regina recorded their
come-back album - I Can Do It All and once again captured the public in
the Balkans. The success of this album was confirmed in a great concert
tour all over Bosnia & Herzegovina. The highlight was their performance
as a supporting act for the Rolling Stones in July 2007. |
