Azra was a rock band from Zagreb (Croatia) that was popular across Yugoslavia in the 1980s. Azra was formed in 1977 by its frontman Branimir "Johnny" Štulić. The other two members of the original line-up were Mišo Hrnjak (bass) and Boris Leiner (drums). The band is named after a verse from "Der Asra" by Heinrich Heine. They are considered to be one of the most influential bands from the former Yugoslav new wave rock era and the Yugoslav Rock scene in general.
They released their first single in 1979 with songs "Balkan" and "A šta da radim". The first album named Azra was published in 1980 and achieved commercial success and popularized Azra in former Yugoslavia. Second album Azra released in 1981. Azra recorded its last studio album Između krajnosti (Between the Extremes) in 1987. In 1988 the band recorded 4LP live album under the name Zadovoljština (Satisfaction), after which Štulić disbanded the band.

A 2003 rock documentary, Sretno dijete depicts Azra as the locus of the rock scene in the former Yugoslavia during the 1980s, along with Bijelo dugme. Even today, Azra remains very popular among youth in the countries of former Yugoslavia.

Kipo ima dusu djeteta i kretnje dame
beskrajno se skanuje da prica
cini mu se da ga gitara ne slusa
on bi da ona sama svira
Kipo ima oci tople i vlazne
mi slusamo njegove ploce
dok se trudi da ih sve pokaze
umori se i naprosto zaspe
u sobi tajac
sve se mijenja
kad Kipo odmara
sale nema
lord mu skida cipele
rasanjuje se dok ih snjira
navlacimo kapute po uglovima
