For the story behind Pimp my Pump crew, all references, info, water pumps, and projects check Pimp my Pump: The Headquarters geocache, all the PmP news and a complete list of all pimped pumps will be there, up to date. Also, paint on the pumps, and especially on the floor, unfortunately deteriorates with time, so the pumps can be rather different looking than their pictures in the listing...
EN: Dino Dvornik, was a Croatian singer, songwriter and music producer. Born in Split as a son of a legendary Croatian actor Boris Dvornik, he starred along his father in lot of movies and TV series from an early age.
Later, he began his music career, and became widely famous shortly before the independence war in the '90's. He was the first funk performer in these parts, and is often referred to as „King of Funk“, or „Funk Daddy“. Along with his greatest hits like Afrika, Zašto praviš slona od mene, Ti si mi u mislima, Ja bi preživio, and my favourite Jače manijače, there were numerous stories of his extravagant behaviour connected with the constant use of various drugs.
He died in 2008, just 6 months after his father, from an overdose of different pills.
This image on the pump is the character from his latest album “Pandora’s Box”, which he finished recording but didn’t live to see, so it was published posthumously. It was originally painted on another pump, the one on Britanski Trg in Zagreb, on June 9th, 2013, during all day manifestation “The Funk King”, dedicated to the late Dino Dvornik. Since that pump is frequently changing painting (so it’s not dedicated to Dino Dvornik any more), and they wanted to preserve this beautiful design, they repainted it on this pump here. Too bad that some of the other fantastic paintings on other pumps are gone forever…

HR: Dino Dvornik je bio hrvatski pjevač, tekstopisac i muzički producent. Rođen je u Splitu kao sin legendarnog glumca Borisa Dvornika, te već kao dijete nastupao uz njega u brojim filmovima i serijama. Kasnije, počinje sa muzičkom karijerom, te postaje šire popularan točno neposredno prije početka rata za nezavisnost 90-ih godina. Bio je prvi funk izvođač na ovim prostorima, pa je često nazivan „Kralj funka“ ili „Funk Daddy“. Uz njegove najveće hitove kao Afrika, Zašto praviš slona od mene, Ti si mi u mislima, Ja bi preživio, te mog omiljenog Jače manijače, novinske stupce su punile priče o njegovom ekstravagantnom ponašanju povezanom s konstantnim konzumiranjem raznih vrsta droga. Umro je 2008. godine, samo 6 mjeseci nakon oca, od predoziranja kombinacijom različitih tableta.
Ovaj design na pumpi je lik s njegovog zadnjeg albuma “Pandorina kutija” kojeg je završio snimanje, ali nije doživio njegovo objavljivanje, pa je izdan posthumno. Originalno je naslikan na jednoj drugoj pumpi, onoj na Britanskom Trgu, 6. svibnja 2013, za vrijeme cjelodnevne manifestacije “The Funk King” u čast njegovom liku i djelu. Kako ta pumpa često mijenja izgled (tako da više nije posvećena Dini Dvorniku), a željeli su nekako sačuvati lijepi dizajn pumpe, iskopirali su ga na ovoj ovdje pumpi. Šteta samo što su neki od fantastičnih dizajna na nekim drugim pumpama zauvijek izgubljeni…
Za priču o Pimp my Pump ekipi, reference, informacije, ofarbane gradske pumpe, i ostale projekte provjerite Pimp my Pump: The Headquarters geocache, sve PmP vijesti te kompletna recentna lista spimpanih pumpi će biti tamo. Isto tako, boje na pumpama, a pogotovo na podu, nažalost blijede s vremenom, pa pumpe mogu izgledati dosta drugačije nego njihove slike u listingu...
