Borislav "Boro" Drljača (born August 29, 1941 in Donja Suvaja, Bosnia and Herzegovina) is a Serbian pop-folk singer popular in the ex-Yugoslavia.[1]
Biography
Borislav was born in the Independent State of Croatia during the World War II to Serbian father Branko and mother Stoja. His mother died during the war, when Bora was still a toddler. He has no memories of her and no pictures. His father later got married with a new wife, after the war.
According to Bora, his worst days in his life was when the Yugoslavian wars started, Bosnian television didn't want to play his songs because he was Serb and Serbian television didn't want to play his songs because he was from Bosnia.
His biggest hits are "Ne namiguj na me tuđa ženo" (Don't wink at me, you other person's woman), and "Plači, mala, plači" (Cry, baby, cry), written by Baja Mali Knindža.
