Dah (Serbian Cyrillic: Дах, trans. Breath) was a Yugoslav and later Belgian progressive rock band formed in Belgrade in 1972.
Dah was formed by guitarist Zlatko Manojlović and guitarist and vocalist Branko Marušić "Čutura", the two previously performing together in the band Džentlmeni. After the release of Dah's debut single in 1973, Marušić left the band, so Manojlović took the singing duties. After the release of their debut album, Veliki cirkus (1974), the band moved to Belgium, changing their name to Land. After spending a year in Belgium and having an international hit with the song "Shoshana", the band returned to Yugoslavia, where they released their second album, Povratak (1976). In 1976, Zlatko Manojlović went to serve his mandatory stint in the Yugoslav army, his brother, keyboardist Goran Manojlović, took over leading of Dah, the group disbanding in 1977. Zlatko Manojlović would continue his career as the leader of the band Gordi, and later as a successful solo artist.
