Drugi Nacin

The band Drugi na?in ("Another Way") was formed in Zagreb, Croatia (former ex-Yugoslavian republic), by members of the band called Zlatni akordi ("The Golden Chords"). Zlatni akordi were first renamed to "Novi Akordi" ("The New Chords"), and from October 1974 to Drugi na?in. Their sound was rock with elements of progressive rock, with guitar and vocal harmonies and a flute, which gave the band a chacteristic and recognizable sound. In 1975 they released their debut self-titled album.

At the end of 1976 the band split-up, so Ismet Kurtovi? (vocals, guitar, flute) and Halil Meki? (guitar) formed a short-lived off-shoot band Nepo?in, which released only one album, "Svijet po kojem gazim" ("The World I'm Stepping On") in 1977 and soon disbanded.
The band re-formed in 1978 recording several singles and second LP, "Ponovno na putu" ("On the road again", 1982), which did not repeat the success of the debut, so the band restricted its activity to only occasional concerts during the 1980s and gradually retired from the scene.
One of the founding members, singer and the flutist Branko Po?gajec re-formed the band in 1992 again recording third album with re-recorded old songs from their 70s singles and few new songs.
In May 2000 Drugi na?in appeared as a support group on the Jethro Tull concert in Zagreb, Croatia.
