Prva plovidba (trans. The First Sail) is the debut studio album from Serbian and Yugoslav rock band Galija, released in 1979.

Contents

Background

Galija was formed in Niš in 1977 by promising singer-songwriter Nenad Milosavljević and the members of the band Dva Lustera (Two Chandeliers). [1] Following appearances at several prominent Yugoslav music festivals–including winning the first place at Gitarijada festival in Zaječar–the group signed a contract with PGP-RTB record label and entered the studio to record their debut album. [1] Four out of seven album tracks featured lyrics written by Nenad Milosavljević's brother Predrag Milosavljević, who also appeared on the album as guest vocalist. [2] Predrag Milosavljević would become the group's official member with the release of the band's second album Druga plovidba (The Second Sail) in 1980. [1]
