Jakarta was a Serbian and Yugoslav rock band formed in Belgrade in 1981.
The band was formed by vocalist Igor Popović and guitarist Jane Parđovski, and initially went through numerous lineup changes, before a steady lineup was formed, consisting of Popović, Parđovski, Rade Bulatović (bass guitar), Miloš Petrović (keyboards) and Ivan Fece (drums). Jakarta released their debut, synth-funk-oriented album Maske za dvoje in 1984 to good reception by Yugoslav audience and critics. The band's second album, pop rock-oriented Bomba u grudima, released in 1986, failed to repeat the success of the band's debut, and the band split up two years after its release. Following the release of a best of compilation in 2013, Popović recorded the album Letim with a group of Belgrade musicians, releasing it as the third Jakarta album in 2020.
