Rokeri s Moravu - Topic

Rokeri s Moravu was a Yugoslav and Serbian band active from 1977-1991 and again from 2006-2008. Their music was a mix of Serbian folk music with rock elements and folksy, satirical lyrics in the village dialects of Šumadija and the Morava Valley, combined with numerous popular culture references. Their visual trademark were Serbian šajkača caps and opanci shoes, worn either with traditional dress and/or in crazy combinations with tuxedos, fur coats or A-shirts.
The band was formed in 1977 by Boris Bizetić, who wrote, composed and made musical arrangements for all Rokeri s Moravu's songs and who is also one of the lead singers of the band. The other lead singer was Zvonko Milenković. Two additional singers were Branislav Anđelović and Branko Janković. Branko Janković died in 1982 after a car accident. Branislav Anđelović left the band in 1988.
Rokeri recorded 19 studio albums from 1977 to 1991, when they stopped recording but continued having occasional live performances around Europe. Between 1988 and 1991 Rokeri released five VHS programs. During the 1990s they were active on television in several TV shows. The best-selling album was Krkenzi kikiriki from 1980.
