Kanda, Kodža i Nebojša (Serbian Cyrillic: Канда, Коџа и Небојша; pronounced [kanda kɔdʑa i nɛbɔjʃa] ⓘ, trans. Probably, Plenty and Daredevil) is a Serbian alternative rock band from Belgrade.

History

Formation, first releases (1991–1995)

The band, consisting of Nektarijević (vocals), Rastko Lupulović (guitar), Vladislav Rac (bass guitar), and Stevan Dimitrijević (drums), was formed in 1991. They were soon joined by Marko Petronijević (trumpet). Having performed for two years, and winning the

Palilula
Culture Olympics, the band went on hiatus as vocalist Nektarijević went to the United States of America.

On his return, in 1994, the band continued working, releasing their debut album Guarda Toma! in 1996. The album, featuring live recordings, made on May and October 1995 at the Belgrade KST, and studio material, including "Put za Tunu" ("The Road to Tuna"), "Priroda" ("Nature"), featuring guest appearance by Darkwood Dub vocalist Dejan "Vuča" Vučetić, "Toma Bebić", dedicated to the singer Toma Bebić, "Visokogradnja" ("Buildings") and "Sisa" ("Tit"), the latter two already being released on the various artists compilation Mi smo za mir (We Are for Peace). The band, combining funk and jazz with rock, with Nektarijević's reggae vocal interpretations, soon became a leading club rock act and a live attraction.

Success and disbandment (1996–2001)

In 1996, guitarist Rastko Lupulović, also working as an actor, made the decision to become a

Disciplina Kičme
song "Manitua Mi II". A remastered edition of the album appeared in 2000.

The following album, Become, released in 2000, featuring guest appearances by

compact cassette, was re-released on CD with the Veliki Prezir debut album by Metropolis Records
. The band stopped working in spring 2001, when Nektarijević moved to Los Angeles.

Reformation (2003–present)

In 2003, the reformed Kanda, Kodža i Nebojša, featuring Nektarijević and Rajović with new members, bassist Branislav Dragović (a former Samostalni Referenti member), guitarist Nenad Pejović (a former Headstream member), and guitarist Nikola Novaković, released the album Prekidi stvarnosti (Reality Cracks). The album, produced by the band themselves with Goran Matić, featuring bonus tracks "Every Nation (Sunset Mix)" and "Ahead There" recorded in Los Angeles, was pronounced the best album of the year 2005 by the

webzine Popboks.[1]

On early 2005, the band was joined by the trumpet player Zoran Erkman, also known as Zerkman, a former

Exit festival performance, released in 2007. The following year, the album Deveti život (Ninth Life) was released, acclaimed by the Popboks critics as the album of the year 2008.[2]

In April 2011, the band released their sixth studio album Manifest (

mp3 format for free digital download through Exit music.[6] On June 30, 2012, the band performed on the last evening of the first Belgrade Calling festival.[7] In December 2012, the band appeared in New Year's Eve edition of Radio Television of Serbia show Bunt (Rebellion), performing, among other songs, a cover of Rok Mašina song "Granica" ("Border").[8] In May 2013, Erkman died in Belgrade. He was 50.[9]

In October 2014, the band released the album Volja za noć (The Will for Night, a

wordplay alluding to Serbian language title of Friedrich Nietzsche's The Will to Power, Volja za moć). The album, announced in November 2013 with the single "Sve je stalo (u r 'n' r)" ("Everything Stopped (In R 'n' R)"),[10] was released on CD through Odličan Hrčak, and for free download from Exit music website.[11] In 2016, the band went on an unplugged tour.[12] They celebrated 25 years of activity with a concert in Mikser House club, held on March 12, 2016, on which their first live album was recorded, but still remains unreleased.[13]

In November 2016, the band released the single "Prekidi ponovo" ("Cracks Again"), announcing their upcoming studio album.[14] In September 2017, the band released the second single from the upcoming album, "Jamajka" ("Jamaica"),[15] and in December 2017 the third single from the album, "Misli dobro" ("Think Well").[16]

Legacy

In 2006, the song "Priroda" was ranked on the No. 48 on the B92 Top 100 Domestic Songs, polled by the Radio B92 listeners.[17] In 2011, the song "Prekidi stvarnosti" was polled, by the listeners of Radio 202, one of 60 greatest songs released by PGP-RTB/PGP-RTS during sixty years of the labels existence.[18]
