Artist Detailed Info: Sapun

Sapun (Serbian for Soap) aka S.A.P.U.N. (Svetska Atrakcija Protiv Urbanih Narodnjaka - Wordlwide Attraction Against Urban Folk Singers) is a satyrical turbo-folk/punk/comedy band from Sombor, Serbia, active since 2022.

Their style can be described as a humorous blend of absurdist and obscene lyrics backed up with a variety of ex-yu pop-folk musical motifs, mostly along punk/folk lines, but also including more ''pure'' synth-folk moments reminiscing of late 80s and early 90s Yugoslav turbo folk.

The lyrical themes of Sapun extend from typical folk song topics: love, tragedy, anguish, but does not shy away to encompass commentary of worldwide pop culture phenomena, such as Game of Thrones (they have covered Rains of Castamere, and come up with the regional social media hit Gejmotron).

Musical and artistic influences include Rambo Amadeus, Nervozni Poštar, Frank Zappa, Pero Defformero, Onopatopeja Ideja, Brkovi, to name a few.
