The exhibition "Partibrejkers - be just yourself" by Zorica Kojić and Dragan Ambrozić will be opened on April 24, on the Plateau in front of the Art Pavilion "Cvijeta Zuzorić" in Kalemegdan.
Its intention is that, forty years after the release of the first album of the famous Partibrejkers, named after the group itself, it will remind of the band that defined rock and roll in the Yugoslav regions.

In the announcement of the exhibition, Zorica Kojić and Dragan Ambrozić remind that Partibrejkers were created as a supergroup of self-proclaimed Belgrade geniuses, who honed their craft in underground bands from the 1970s to the 1980s: Goran Bulatović Manzanera on drums, Nebojša Antonijević Anton and Ljubiša Kostadinović Ljuba with guitars, as well as probably the most impressive regional frontman ever - Zoran Kostić Cane. In the following decades, their energy, the original desperados of rock and roll, whipped tirelessly over all limitations, establishing once and for all a sonic revolution that seems absolutely outside of any known order and law. If they had any known predecessors at all, they were, without any doubt, only Zoran Miščević and his Silhouettes.

Practically every song from the album "Partibrejkers" is a part of rock'n'roll mythology, experienced in Serbian and brought to our cities for the first time. It is the record that made pure rock and roll finally a part of the local culture, so that it will forever remain and become a part of world rock and roll, and not a local copy of low credibility. As the embodiment of eternal youthful restlessness and dissatisfaction, this record instantly became a generational cult in the former SFRY. In fact, the reckoning of the old and new eras in the understanding of what rock music really is - the music of freedom, of not agreeing to serve someone, of the courage to stand up to all the future "hypnotized crowds" who act out life and repeat learned movements in the compromise game of everyday life - was established to her and from her.
The authors of the photographs at the exhibition are Goranka Matić, Aleksandar Kujučev and Stanislav Milojković.
The organizer of the exhibition is Dom omladine Beograd.
