Kontraritam

about

Kontraritam (Serbian Cyrillic: Контраритам; trans. The Counterbeat) was a new wave band from Novi Sad, notable as the first ska band in Serbia. The band was formed in Autumn 1980 by former Gomila G members Žolt Horvat (guitar) and Robert "Robi" Radić with Jan Pavlov (keyboards, vocals), Dimitrije "Mita" Radulović (bass, vocals). The band also featured guitarist Sreten Srele Kovačević who left his former band Pekinška Patka after the release of their debut album Plitka poezija . Beside the guitar Kovačević played saxophone, which he took up playing a few months before joining the band. After a few club appearances and with the help of Vitomir "Vita" Simurdić, the band managed to appear on the Subotica Youth festival. Due to the death of Josip Broz Tito, the festival was held in November and not in May, as it was originally played. Even though the band did not win the festival, it got positive reactions from the audience and critics. In December 1980, the band appeared at the Grok festival, held at the Novi Sad fair. They also played as an opening act for Haustor, Prljavo kazalište and Idoli. With the help of the producer Aleksandar "Aca" Pražić, the band recorded a few songs, which provided the media presentation of the band. After the Hipodrom festival in 1981, Radulović, who went to serve the Yugoslav People's Army, was replaced by Boris "Bora" Oslovčan. Soon after, the band sinned a contract with the Beograd disk record label, but the material recorded for the debut alb
