Band history
The band was formed in 1968 by Maja de Rado (songwriter, vocals and twelve string guitar), Jugoslav Vlahović (acoustic guitar) and Slobodan Kuzmanović (acoustic guitar). Being close relatives, they named the band Porodična Manufaktura Crnog Hleba. At the beginning of 1969, they were joined by Petar Pavišić (double bass). The band worked with several flutists: Vlada Bogosavljević, Sreten Tasić and Branko Malkoč. The band held happenings in the basement of Atelje 212 theatre, and during 1972 and 1973 performed alternative play Porodična manufaktura crnog hleba - balada Maje de Rado (Rye Bread Family Manufacture - A Ballad by Maja de Rado), during which they performed their music.
In 1974 they released their debut album Stvaranje ("The Creation"). Following the release of Stvaranje they started performing a play with the same name at Atelje 212 during which they played photographic slides and short films. The painter Dobrivoje Petrović performed with the band, playing sitar. At the time of recording of their second studio album, Porodična Manufaktura Crnog Hleba disbanded due to the male members' army obligations.
Post breakup
After the breakup Maja de Rado dedicated herself to classical music and meditation poetry and Vlahović started working as a designer and cartoonist.
In 1994, the band's song "Nešto" ("Something") was released on Komuna compilation album Sve smo mogli mi: Akustičarska muzika (We Could Have Done All: Acoustic Music), which featured songs by Yugoslav acoustic rock acts.
Slobodan Kuzmanović died on 26 January 2014. He was 61 years old.
