Marko Bulat and the Dark Secrets of the 90s: Murders, Drugs, and Crime at Concerts
The 1990s in Serbia were not just a time of wars and sanctions but also a dark era for the music scene. Marko Bulat, one of the most popular singers of that time, reveals how his concerts were places where terrifying things happened — from offers of illegal substances to murders right before his eyes.
Drugs and Temptations He Rejected
While many of his peers fell into the trap of drugs, Bulat stayed strong. He recalls how, even in elementary school, he saw his friends move from cigarettes to weed, glue, and even heroin. “I was never attracted to drugs or anything like that,” he says. Despite being offered illegal substances at his shows, he remained principled and did not give in to pressure.
Murders at Concerts — A Scene from a Horror Movie
Have you ever imagined a murder happening at a concert? Marko Bulat says it did. During one of his performances in the 90s, a man was even killed. “Those were crazy times, wartime,” the singer recalls. Another incident happened at a New Year’s concert when Bojan Banović, a member of the Voždovac gang, was killed while Bulat was singing. The atmosphere was so tense that singers had to work with ‘krialci’ — security often linked to criminal groups.
Criminals as Regular Guests
The Zemun clan and other criminal groups did not avoid popular nightclubs like Lukas, where Bulat often performed. Ninoslav, one of the clan leaders, was a regular guest and asked Bulat to sing up to 34 songs for his crew. Despite being surrounded by dangerous people, Bulat claims he was always principled and never allowed himself to be harassed or for order to be disturbed at his shows.
Family Problems and Violence
Though successful on stage, Bulat was not spared problems in his private life. His long-term marriage to his wife Marija was more turbulent than it seemed, with reports of violence but also quick reconciliations. This further reflects the chaotic atmosphere in which he lived and worked.
Conclusion: The 90s as a Time of Chaos and Danger
Marko Bulat’s candid confession reveals the dark side of the 90s music scene. Drugs, crime, violence, and murders were everyday realities at places where people came to have fun. His story is a warning and a reminder of how hard it was to stay clean and principled in such an environment.
