Bajaga i Instruktori (

Yugoslav rock scene
.

The band was formed while Bajagaić was still a guitarist for the highly popular band Riblja Čorba, originally to promote Bajagić's side project Pozitivna geografija. The success of the album and the promotional tour led to the continuation of the band's activity. Bajaga i Instruktori's following releases, Sa druge strane jastuka (1985), Jahači magle (1986) and Prodavnica tajni (1988), brought a plethora of hit songs, placing the band at the top of the Yugoslav rock scene, alongside other mega-selling bands like Riblja Čorba and Bijelo Dugme. The band's work and Bajagić's often poetic lyrics were also widely praised by the music critics. The band continued their activity after the breakup of Yugoslavia, throughout their whole career remaining one of the most popular groups in Serbia and other former Yugoslav republics.

History

Bajagić's beginnings and career with Riblja Čorba

Momčilo Bajagić "Bajaga" started his musical career in 1974, at age 14, as vocalist for the band TNT.[1] He wrote his first lyrics as a TNT member, for their song "Dvadeseta noć" ("Twentieth Night").[1] After TNT disbanded, in the summer of 1976, he moved to the band Ofi, led by organist Toma Stojković, nicknamed "Ofinger" ("Coat Hanger").[1] The lineup consisted of Stojković on organ, Bajagić on bass guitar, Dragan Đerić "Đera" on drums and Živorad "Žika" Milenković on vocals.[1] After Stojković decided to retire from music, Bajagić and Dragan Đerić formed the band Glogov Kolac (Hawthorn Stake) with organist Dragan Pliško and guitarist Rajko Kojić.[1] The group disbanded after only one live performance, and disappointed Bajagić decided to give up music, refusing an invitation from Zdravo leader Boban Petrović to join his band.[1] However, on the suggestion of Rajko Kojić – who had joined SOS, which had evolved into Riblja Čorba – in 1979 he became rhythm guitarist for Riblja Čorba, which already had gained significant popularity with their debut single, "Lutka sa naslovne strane" ("A Doll on the Front Cover").[1] With Riblja Čorba Bajagić recorded five studio albums and a live album, writing music and both music and lyrics for several Riblja Čorba hits, achieving nationwide popularity.[1] During his time spent with Riblja Čorba he also produced the debut album of the band Bezobrazno Zeleno.[2]

1980s

During his time in Riblja Čorba, Bajagić wrote a large number of humorous pop-oriented songs that did not fit into Riblja Čorba's

anti-drug song "Znam čoveka" ("I Know a Man"), dedicated to Dragan Đerić "Đera", Bajagić's former bandmate from Ofi and Glogov Kolac.[1]

Initially, Bajagić had no intention of promoting Pozitivna geografija in concert, but eventually decided to listen to the advice of fellow musicians and music journalists and hold several concerts.[1] Bajagić and musicians working on the album held their first concert in Zagreb club Kulušić on 12 April 1984.[1] Beside the musicians that worked on the album, the concert also featured vocalist Žika Milenković (a graduate from Belgrade Faculty of Applied Arts,[4] Bajagić's former bandmate from the band Ofi, a former Mačori member and an actor in the amateur theatre Teatar levo), keyboardist Dragan Mitrić (a former Bulevar and Propaganda member) and Kornelije Kovač,[1] Milenković soon becoming an official member of the band.[5] During their staying in Zagreb, Bajagić and Cukić appeared as guests on the recording of Parni Valjak album Uhvati ritam (Get into the Rhythm), singing backing vocals on the title track, as a sign of gratitude to Parni Valjak for lending them a piece of drum kit for their first concert.[1] The band held the official album promotion, organized by the Rock magazine, in Belgrade's Trade Union Hall on 21 April.[1] On this performance the band appeared under the name Bajaga i Instruktori – chosen after the idea of journalist Peca Popović – for the first time.[1] The concert featured Valentino and Bezobrazno Zeleno as the opening bands.[1] The concert was well attended and the band's performance was well received by the teenage audience.[1]

The success of Bajagić's solo album intensified already existing problems and conflicts inside Riblja Čorba.[1] On 19 July 1984 Bajagić was, alongside Rajko Kojić, excluded from the band.[1] During the summer of 1984 Bajaga i Instruktori went on a tour, with experienced musician Rade Radivojević on keyboards, playing mostly at youth work actions.[1] At the end of the year, in the Rock magazine Bajagić was proclaimed the Rock Musician of the Year, and Pozitivna geografija was voted the Album of the Year by fellow musicians.[1]

At the beginning of 1985 Bajaga i Instruktori recorded the album

7-inch single with "220 u voltima" as the A-side. On the record's B-side was a track with software for ZX Spectrum entitled "Kompjuterska informacija (za Sinclair Spectrum)" ("Computer Information (for Sinclair Spectrum)").[8]

In March 1985 Bajaga i Instruktori presented their new songs to the Zagreb audience in Kulušić club, as a part of the BG-ZG: Bolje vas našli (Belgrade-Zagreb: Happy to Be Here) action.

Tašmajdan Stadium, on 8 and 9 June. For both of the concerts the Stadium was sold out, and on the first one the band played during pouring rain.[1] In May 1985 Bajagić and Cukić took a part in YU Rock Misija, a Yugoslav contribution to Live Aid, and on 15 June Bajaga i Instruktori performed on the YU Rock Misija concert held on the Red Star Stadium.[9]

League of Communist Youth of Yugoslavia.[9] After the tour ended, the band went on a break, during which Lokner and Golubović performed in jazz clubs with jazz musicians Stjepko Gut (trumpet), Miša Krstić (piano) and Nenad Petrović (saxophone).[9]

In the summer of 1986 the band members reunited to record the album

7-inch single given as a gift with an issue of Rock magazine. The B-side featured audio clips from the Jahači magle songs. The single was printed in 99,999 copies, which was the circulation of Rock magazine.[9] After the single, the album was released, bringing hits "Ja mislim 300 na sat", "442 do Beograda" ("442 to Belgrade"), with a bass guitar riff written by Bata Božanić, "Bam, bam, bam", "Rimljani" ("Romans"), and Milenković's "Samo nam je ljubav potrebna" ("All We Need Is Love").[9] The band went on a successful tour, which ended with a concert held at Belgrade Fair on 22 November 1986 in front of about 20,000 people.[9] After the end of the tour, the band made a break once again, during which Bajagić travelled to Thailand, and Cukić released his first solo album, Spori ritam (Slow Rhythm).[9] After the break, Bajaga i Instruktori went on a two-month Soviet Union tour, during which they held 42 concerts.[9] After they returned to Yugoslavia, Cukić left Bajaga i Instruktori conventionally, forming his Spori Ritam Band.[9]

Bajaga i Instruktori recorded their following album, Prodavnica tajni (The Shop of Secrets), in 1988 in Novi Sad.[9] The album, named after Dino Buzzati book La boutique del mistero (with the songs, however, having no connection with the book),[15] was produced by Saša Habić.[1] Milenković co-wrote the songs "Ruski voz" ("Russian Train"), "Život je nekad siv – nekad žut" ("Life Is Sometimes Grey – Sometimes Yellow"), and "Vesela pesma" ("Merry Song").[9] The album marked a slight stylistic change in the band's sound: the songs were simpler, without brass instruments and numerous guest musicians, frequent on the band's previous releases, based on acoustic guitars and keyboards, and the songs "Plavi safir" ("Blue Sapphire"), "Vesela pesma", "Život je nekad siv – nekad žut" and "Ruski voz" featured folk music elements.[9] However, virtually every song on the album became a hit. During the year Bajagić also found time to produce the album 88 by the band Heroji.[2]

Legacy

In April 1984 we went to a concert in Trade Union Hall, to check how much a Riblja Čorba guitarist can do on his own, without a leader and a tutor, and left the concert realizing that Momčilo Bajagić flew into our lives to stay. He moved a dose of positivism, not predicted by Orwell for the year 1984, into the space of common intimacy [...]

During the 25 years of career, in the business in which the time of the idols passes quickly, despite intense temptations and bad moments, he kept the status of a decent fellow, a beloved musician and a tolerant family guy. In the cruelest days of Yugoslav tsunamis, he helped us keep the most human emotions with romance, cheerfulness and optimism. He kept us from ugly reality with emotional amulets.

Although Bajaga's composing and poetic talents are unquestionable, the critics were reserved towards his vocal capacity, pointing out to monotonous baritone and narrative vocal style of modest range.

However, Bajaga's "impefect voice", as one of the trademarks of domestic music scene, is maybe the most suitable for his complex and descriptive lyrics. That poetry always rose above the trivialities. Those are the lyrics one believes, which one can feel and recognize. With that sort of poetics he won hearts and respect.

Belgradians share a special attachment to his songs which, in a large extent, symbolize the [Serbian and former Yugoslav] capital. Bajaga is among the chosen Belgrade authors. Just like

Dušan Radović, who placed his nest at the top of Beograđanka to foster, watch over and defend the spirit under these skies, just like Momo Kapor
, who collected the golden dust of the city while fooling around – Bajaga, in his own time, left originally poetic and colorful image of an emotional pot which is constantly boiling.

-Petar "Peca" Popović in 2011.[57]

In 2015 Serbian jazz singer Lena Kovačević released a tribute album to Bajaga i Instruktori, entitled Džezeri (Jazzers), featuring covers of ten songs by the band.[58] The song "Strah od vozova" ("Fear of Trains") was covered by Serbian pop duo Next of Kin on their 1990 album Way to the Top.[59] The song "Tišina" ("Silence") was, with altered lyrics and entitled "Alkoholičarka" ("Alcoholic Girl"), covered by Serbian punk rock band Trula Koalicija on their 1992 album Plakao sam kad je pala Sekuritatea (I Cried When the Securitate Had Fallen).[60] The song "Francuska ljubavna revolucija" was covered by the Serbian punk rock band Six Pack, their version entitled "La Musique", on their 2004 album Musique, with Žika Milenković making a guest appearance on the song.[61] The song "Ti se ljubiš (Na tako dobar način)" ("You Kiss (In a Great Manner)") was covered by the Serbian pop singer Teodora Bojović on her 2004 album Teodora.[62] The song "Verujem – Ne verujem" was covered in 2011 by Polish singer Maciej Maleńczuk, his version entitled "Ostatnia nocka" ("Last Night").[63] In 2014, Serbian alternative rock band Bjesovi recorded a medley comprising Bajaga i Instruktori song "Godine prolaze" ("Years Are Passing") and Riblja Čorba song "Užasno mi nedostaje" ("I Miss Her so Much").[64] In 2020 Serbian rock singers Đorđe David and Ivana Peters released a cover of the song "Gde si".[65] In 2021 Serbian jazz duo Lidija Andonov & Andy Pavlov recorded a cover of "Plavi safir" on their album Mlad & Radostan - Homage to Yugoslav Music from the 80s and Beyond (Young & Joyful - Homage to Yugoslav Music from the 80s and Beyond).[66]
