Vlado Pravdić

Vlado Pravdić (December 6,1949) is a Bosnian musician most famous as the organist of the Yugoslav rock group Bijelo dugme from 1974 to 1976 and again from 1978 to 1987.

Born in Sarajevo, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, Yugoslavia, Pravdić enrolled in musical school at the age of seven and learned to play the piano. After completing his secondary schooling he studied Physics at the University of Sarajevo's Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.

Pravdić's musical activity began during 1965 in Vokinsi, whom he was with until 1968. He would go on to play in Kost from 1968-1970, Ambasadori from 1970-1971 and Indexi from 1971-1973. While gigging with Indexi over the summer 1973, he struck up a friendship with Goran Bregović who at the time had a band called Jutro. The two hit it off immediately, and Pravdić decided to join Jutro, which would soon be transformed into the highly influential Bijelo dugme as of January 1, 1974.

Pravdić played on Bijelo dugme's first two albums "Kad bi' bio bijelo dugme" and "Šta bi dao da si na mom mjestu" before commencing his compulsory military service in fall 1976, when he got replaced by Laza Ristovski. He returned to Bijelo dugme in 1978 and went on to play until 1987.

He currently lives in the U.S.A.

Pravdić joined the rest of the band in the 2005 farewell tour.
