4 asa is a Croatian music group. It was founded in the early 2000s in Zagreb. [1] The members are actually frontmen of Yugoslav bands: Rajko Dujmić (Novi fosili), Vlado Kalember (Srebrna krila), Jurica Pađen (Aerodrom) and Alen Islamović (Divlje jagode and Bijelo dugme[2]).

In the 2020s, they returned to the stage, but Dujmić died in the meantime.[3] In 2022, they signed a contract with Croatia Records,[4] in order to release a double album the following year.[5]

History

In 2003, they held concerts in Zagreb (one in March and one in September).[6] [7] Recordings from the concert were released on a double live album. Before the first concert in Zagreb, news circulated that the characters of the members would be on the packaging of a chocolate bar in Serbia.[8] In the same year, they released an album of the same name. During the summer of 2003, they toured the Croatian Adriatic,[9] and the sponsor was Večernji list.[10]

In 2004, they released the album Nakon svih ovih godina and toured in Belgrade.[11] In 2005, they participated in Dora, but they didn't go any further. In 2008 group held concert in Subotica.[12]

In 2020, they last performed in full.[13] At the beginning of August, Dujmić passed away, so the break lasted until the group signed a contract with Croatia Records.[14] On the third anniversary of Dujmić's death, on August 4, 2023, the group released a double album of the same name (sometimes called as Legendarni album).[15] A few days before the official release, the songs were uploaded on streaming platforms.[16]
