Bora Spužić Kvaka

Bora Spužić (; 10 November 1934 – 9 March 2002), better known by his nickname Kvaka , was a Serbian vocalist and recording artist with a career spanning almost three decades.

Biography Spužić was born as Velibor Spužić on 10 November 1934 in the Metohija town of Orahovac to father Todor and mother Olga. He was the fifth of six children in the family. In 1941, the Spužić family had to emigrate from Kosovo, deciding on Ćićevac. While living in Ćićevac at the very end of the war in 1945, he fell from a tree during a playground game and dislocated his hip. As a result, his left leg remained twenty-five centimetres shorter than his right leg. From Ćićevac, the family moved to Zemun and shortly after to Požarevac where his father gained employment as a clerk in the Tax Administration. Spužić began singing and playing the accordion in Požarevac using his neighbour's accordion.

In 1968 in the Pančevo Army Hall, he met who at that time was already a known composer of folk music. Jovanović offered him to record a single with four songs. The single was recorded by Zagreb-based Jugoton. It sold 400,000 copies and had a silver and gold publication.

His first album was published in 1971

Spužić died on 9 March 2002 in Požarevac. He was interred on 11 March 2002 at the Požarevac Old Cemetery. He had two daughters.
