Indexi was a rock group originating from Bosnia and previously part of the Yugoslav music scene, established in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in 1962. Their activity continued until 2001, concluding with the passing of their lead vocalist Davorin Popović. The band achieved widespread recognition throughout Yugoslavia with memorable tracks such as "Svijet u kome živim," "Negdje u kraju, u zatišju" (featuring lyrics by Želimir Altarac Čičak), "Plima," "Sve ove godine," "Sanjam," and "Bacila je sve niz rijeku," the last of which has been frequently covered by various former Yugoslav ensembles including Crvena jabuka.
The name of the band was inspired by the academic record book known as "Indeks." Initially, their performances focused on instrumental renditions, but by 1967 they transitioned to creating original compositions. They are recognized as trailblazers of psychedelic rock within their region, drawing stylistic influence from global icons like The Beatles, Yes, and The Guess Who.
