Mama Rock was a Serbian and former Yugoslav rock band formed in Niš in 1977. History of Mama Rock begins with band Viktorija (not to be confused with Serbian rock singer Viktorija and her support band) whose members were Stojanović brothers, Zoran "Ciga" and Dragomir, and Nikolić brothers, Bane and Mirko, and which won the first place at 1974 Gitarijada music festival.

The same year the band won jury's award at the Gitarijada festival and recorded single with songs "Vranjanka" and "Pismena vežba" which was released through Diskos. In 1978 the band got new vocalist, Zoran "Stoka" Stojković, a former Istok member, and recorded single with songs Naručiću, mala, buđenje u sedam and Eva produced by Goran Bregović. In 1979 the band performed at Bijelo Dugme's Rock spektakl '79 held on JNA Stadium and toured with Bijelo Dugme as an opening band.
