Bajaga i Instruktori play a second night in the Blue Hall of Sava Centar on October 23 at 20:00. Tickets are around 1,790 denars. The first concert is the day before, on October 22, which means one date was not enough.

The group was founded in Belgrade in 1984 by Momčilo Bajagić Bajaga, composer, lyricist and guitarist. Before that he was a member of Riblja Čorba, for whom he wrote music and lyrics for several songs, along with a run of pop songs that did not fit that band's sound. Those songs are precisely what pushed him to start his own group.

The debut album "Pozitivna geografija" from 1984 originally came out as a Bajaga solo project, but later entered the group's official discography, because it was recorded with the musicians he formed the band with immediately afterwards. Then came "Sa druge strane jastuka" in 1985, "Jahači magle" in 1986 and "Prodavnica tajni" in 1988, the albums that carried the band to the top of the Yugoslav rock scene.

Later releases include "Zmaj od Noćaja" from 2001 and "Šou počinje u ponoć" from 2005, while the last album, "Daljina, dim i prašina", came out in 2012. Forty-two years on, the band still fills halls two nights running.

The same autumn, Sava Centar also stages the musical "Sa druge strane jastuka", built on thirty of his songs. Concert tickets are through tickets.rs.
