Life and career

edit

She was born in the town of Berane where she grew up and completed primary and secondary education.[2]

In 2005 she took third place in the second season of the music competition Zvezde Granda.

Two years later, she won the first prize at the festival in Cetinje with the song "Tvoja noć i moja zora" (Your night and my dawn).

In 2009 her label Grand Production was released Jadranka's first album entitled "Krv sam tvoja" (I am your blood). On the mentioned album, in addition to six songs, there were also the songs "Laka" (Easy) and "Neotporna" (Irresistible), but also the song "Tvoja noć i moja zora". The song "Laka" was singled out, a single from 2005 that stood out and is considered one of her best songs.[3]

Controversies

edit

In September 2020, Barjaktarović came to the public's attention after she sang a song by the Serbian singer Mitar Mirić at a performance in Podgorica, "Ne može nam niko ništa" (Nobody can do anything to us), with reworked title and lyrics "Ne može nam niko ništa, jači smo od Srbije" (Nobody can do anything to us, we are stronger than Serbia).[4][5] After the performance, a large number of singers and media from Montenegro and Serbia condemned her performance.[6]

In June 2021, she performed a song "Sude mi" by Miroslav Škoro and Marko Perković Thompson which glorifies Croatian war general Ante Gotovina.[7][8]
