Music production and publishing house
Komuna was founded in 1985 as a private music production and publishing house, giving music authors from the region more artistic freedom.
Komuna released records that marked the Yugoslav music scene. Its cooperation with Polygram from France and Greece opened the international market.
Alongside established artists, Komuna released young authors, especially in the years when it organised the Budva Festival - the festival hits came out on the Komuna label.

Concert Organization
Concerts came before Komuna itself.
Maksa Ćatović showed his passion for big music events as early as the 70s, at the famous Bijelo Dugme concert at Hajdučka Česma. Since then Komuna has brought dozens of major concerts to halls and open-air venues, as well as shows such as David Copperfield, the Chinese Circus and the Harlem Globetrotters.
