Zabranjeno Pušenje and the Zagreb Mosque Choir Arabeske has been collaborating on various recordings since 2001.[2] At the first, Arabeske Choir featured on the Zabranjeno pušenje song "Lijepa Alma" (Bog vozi Mercedes, 2001). The collaboration of the popular rock band and the Zagreb Mosque choir came to peak during the writing and formation of the film score for the 2006 Bosnian action comedy filmNafaka, directed by Jasmin Duraković. In that occasion the Shaderwan Code was formed.[3]Sejo Sexon, the bandleader and songwriter of Zabranjeno pušenje, has already been incorporating ilahia, Islamic religious songs, in musical arrangements for his band. The songs "Test za džennet" (Fildžan viška, 2001) and "Lijepa Alma" (Bog vozi Mercedes, 2001) before, and "Domovina" and "Laku noć stari" (both Hodi da ti čiko nešto da, 2006) after the 2006 film score collaboration with Arabeske Choir, can be regarded as an inauguration for Shaderwan Code.[1]
