Siniša Vuco
Siniša Vuco (Split, 29. travnja 1971)
Hrvatski pjevač i skladatelj pop i rock glazbe, i heavy metala. Skladao je i pisao glazbu za mnoge hrvatske izvođače.
Siniša Vuco je jedan od rijetkih glazbenika koji se u svojoj karijeri bavi potpuno suprotnim glazbenim žanrovima. Podjednako je prihvaćen kao autor i pjevač nove narodne glazbe i kao autor i izvođač žestokog hard rocka.
Siniša Vuco (born 29 April 1971 in Split, Croatia), his stage name being simply Vuco, is a Croatian singer and songwriter. Common, recurring themes in his songs include: addiction, alcoholism, love, the past, and suffering.
Siniša Vuco, began his career as a pop musician, but his big break came in early 1990s when he appeared in the Split Music Festival. He presented himself as one of the first Croatian Pop musicians to reintroduce the accordion (which was being regarded as "rural and primitive" by many advocates of Urbanism), Roma music and oriental sounds in his work, in a time when it was considered "politically incorrect" for Croatians to do so because it was somehow redolent of Turbo-folk music. Vuco, much to the dismay of pop/folk critics and social commentators, reintroduced elements of turbo-folk to Croatian pop music.
Although officially frowned upon, such trends apparently struck the chord among a large section of the Croatian public and Vuco acquired a loyal following. In the late 1990s, his songs were subjected to a semi-official ban in the Croatian state media. It had less to do with the quality or questionable origin of Vuco's music, and more with Vuco's temperament and his tendency not to mince words when talking about some of his peers and their personal habits.
Apart from having a turbo-folk career, Siniša Vuco is a founder and vocalist and guitarist for the hard rock band Živo blato. While playing for Živo blato, he takes the stage name General Vasilij Mitu. He is also a member of the heavy metal band Klanje ljudi, for which he performs using the stage name Admiral Koljač (transl. Admiral Slayer), and played bass in a thrash metal band Evil Blood.
Vuco has also written songs for others, some of which have become semi-hits, for example the song Stari Se was written by him for Thompson.
He is infamous for his often eccentric performances; for example: Klanje ljudi's Split concert of 2004 stands out as lambs were being roasted on stage as the band played, and spectators could simply walk up to the stage and grab a piece of lamb to eat.
Similar appearances occurred during the 2003 parliamentary elections when he appeared on Croatian Radiotelevision as an independent candidate. Although many in Croatian public considered his TV presentation to be the most original and the most entertaining part of the entire campaign, most people saw his candidacy more as a publicity stunt than a genuine effort to start a political career.
