Dženan Salković
Dženan Salković (2 January 1945 – 20 July 1989), also known by the nickname Đani, was a Bosnian and Yugoslav singer, songwriter, and doctor from Mostar.[1][2] In 1969 he wrote the song "Hej, Hej" which was later covered in 1978 by rock band Drugi način as "Prođe ovaj dan."[3] In 1973 he wrote the song "Jefimija" for the group Lutajuća Srca, which won the Union of Composers of Yugoslavia Award that year.[4][5] The song was inspired by the life of medieval Serbian poet Jefimija.[6] At the time Salković was in a relationship with the lead singer of Lutajuća Srca, Spomenka Đokić. He dedicated the song to her.[7]
In 2006 "Jefimija" was ranked No. 94 on the B92 Top 100 Domestic Songs list.[8]
