How a recording project became a reunion across two continents.
Stari Drugovi is a musical project created by drummer and producer Miroslav “Miki” Lekić, founder of Studio 11 Productions, bringing together a remarkable group of musicians and singers from across the United States and the former Yugoslavia.
With artists based in Nashville, Charleston, New York, and Los Angeles, the project unites seasoned professionals who share a deep love for the music and spirit of the old Yugoslav rock era. Many of the performers come from Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Slovenia — and most have known each other for decades. True stari drugovi.
The idea was simple but powerful: gather passionate musicians and create recordings at the highest level, honoring the sound and emotion of the music they grew up with — classic-inspired songs from the Yugoslav era alongside new compositions in English, blending nostalgia with modern production. More than a recording project, it is a celebration of friendship, shared history, and the timeless sound that shaped a generation.
