Biography
Formed in 1980, Sarajevo, ‘No Smoking’ found considerable success with their first two albums (84/85). After a misunderstanding during a concert, the group suffered Titoist censorship and most of its members left.

Emir Kusturica, an ex-punk rocker from Sarajevo who had just received his first Palme d’Or Award, became the band’s official bass player. Emir had just time to record the third album and contribute to the development of this Balkan inn and multiple pile-up of latitudes before he had to leave, having just signed the contract for the movie ‘Le Temps des Gitans’.

In 1994, Dr Nelle Karallic (the leader of the band) decided to reform ‘No Smoking’ with younger musicians, including Kusturica’s son. This new blood allowed them to explore new horizons on their fifth album dedicated to all the victims of the war. Country beats, Turkish marches, Italian classical, Gypsy trumpets, South American sounds, techno-pop loops, accordeon, Balkan base-punk, Tzigane tradition, etc… : this Balkanised roar bears the self-proclaimed name of ‘unza unza’ and they see it as the most important musical style since reggae.

Since 1998, after the original soundtrack of ‘Black cat, White cat’, Kusturica went back to the band, having simply swapped his bass for a guitar. On record as well as on stage, he seems intent on polishing off the entire history of manic-depressive guitar in hat and work-jacket. The album ‘Unza Unza time’ was released in 2000 and was a huge success in France and abroad, the performances of the group being wildly applauded by the public. In 2004, they released the OST of Kusturica’s movie ‘Life is a miracle’. ~ French Music
