Bez naglih skokova did not bring any hits. After the album release, the band performed, together with Bajaga i Instruktori, Laboratorija Zvuka and Leb i Sol, on a fundraising concert in Sarajevo, dedicated to the victims of the 1983 Kopaonik earthquake. At the end of 1984, Galija were voted "The Best Live Act on the Shore" by Split youth. During the year, the band started to hold regular concerts in Music Club 81 in Niš, on which they performed covers of foreign rock hits. During the same year, Lokner joined Bajaga i Instruktori, and was replaced by Aleksandar Ralev. Jean Jacques Roskam, a Belgian of Zaire origin, soon joined Galija as the lead guitarist. Roskam previously played in the Belgian band Machiavel and in the Yugoslav groups D' Boys and Peđa D' Boy Band. In 1986, the band released the album Digni ruku (Raise Your Hand), with the title track becoming a hit. The band wanted the album cover to feature a provocative image of the Hero of Socialist Labour Alija Sirotanović with a blindfold, which the record label refused. The album featured Roskam's song "Winter's Coming", with lyrics written by Dani Klein, the singer of the Belgian band Vaya Con Dios. After the album release, Radulović left the band. 1988–1994: cooperation with Radoman Kanjevac, album trilogy and the peak of popularity In the late 1980s the band was joined by Bratislav "Bata" Zlatković, a multi-instrumentalist – in Galija he played guitar, keboards and flute – who graduated from Sarajevo Music Academy, and started to work with the lyricist Radoman Kanjevac, the two bringing new ideas. Kanjevac brought up an idea of releasing an album trilogy which would deal with political situation in socialist Yugoslavia at the end of 1980s, and Zlatković introduced folk music influences into Galija's sound. The album Daleko je Sunce (Distant is the Sun), named after Dobrica Ćosić's novel, featured numerous guest musicians: keyboardists Kornelije Kovač and Saša Lokner, bass guitarist Nenad Stefanović "Japanac", drummer Ivan Vdović, Fejat Sejdić Trumpet Orchestra and others. Songs were named after the works of writers Dobrica Ćosić, Branko Ćopić, Ivo Andrić, Laza Lazarević and Aleksa Šantić. Daleko je sunce brought new attention of the media and of the younger audience. The album's biggest hits were the ballad "Da li si spavala" ("Did You Sleep") and the folk-oriented "Mi znamo sudbu" ("We Know the Destiny"). The other hits included "Intimni odnosi"
