1.Saban Bajramovic

Šaban Bajramović  (April 16, 1936 – June 8, 2008) was Romani musician from Serbia.

Biography

He was born in Niš where he attended primary school for only the first four years. On quitting school, he picked up his musical education on the street.

At 19 he ran away from the army out of love for a girl. As a deserter, he was sentenced to three years prison on the island Goli otok, but as he told the military court they could not hold him for so long as he could survive, they raised his punishment to five and a half years. He survived as he was a good goalkeeper in the prison football team. Because of his nimbleness and speed, they called him "Black Panther". Soon he forced his way into the prison orchestra that played, among other things, jazz (mostly Louis Armstrong, Sinatra, and sometimes John Coltrane) with Spanish and Mexican pieces.

After Goli otok, his intensive music career began. He made his first record in 1964. He is believed to have composed 650 compositions. Šaban also composed the official Roma people anthem "Djelem, Djelem" in 1964. Later, in 1969, new lyrics for the song were written by Zarko Jovanovic^[3], 1969.

In 2008, it was revealed that Bajramović was living impoverished in Niš with serious health complications and was no longer able to walk. The government of Serbia intervened to provie him with some funds.^[4] He died in Niš on June 8, 2008, from a heart attack.

Quotes

Over the years, his music has been constantly stolen, copied, and imitated by both famous and unknown musicians. Promises and contracts have proven worthless. Actually, he's never been interested in protecting his work. Where others would have earned millions, he's lived as he's always lived: from day to day, making music, going wherever he wants, and not recognising any limits at all.

Dragi Šestić - Mostar Sevdah Reunion

Saban Bajramovic is clearly a giant talent, comparable in his own way to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan or Mari Boine Persen, someone capable of bringing their music to life with such vivid spirituality that it vaults with ease over the most impenetrable cultural barriers. His voice combines the anguish of rai with the soulfulness of fado - a sort of Balkan gypsy jazz.

In 1978, with a new keyboards player Zoran Stanković, Galija won the first place at Gitarijada festival in Zaječar. Several months later they performed at Omladinski festival in Subotica with Ljubodrag Vukadinović playing the keyboard. During the year they performed as an opening band on Smak tour. The band released its debut LP Prva plovidba ("The First Sail") in 1979 with Nenad Milosvaljević's brother Predrag Milosavljević as a new member. He wrote most of the album lyrics.

During the summer a tour was organised, and the album was promoted with a number of free concerts, and a concert in the park outside Old Palace was held. At the time Galija began to cooperate with Socialist Party of Serbia, which has provoked a part of the critics and fans, who have proclaimed Galija a "state's band".

11. Restaurant `AMERIKANAC`

There is a far known restaurant from Palilula called "American." The story about it is the story of a family tradition. The legend of "American" begins long ago in 1936 when Nikola Mandic, grandfather of today’s owner, decided to open an inn on the hill Konvaluk that worked until the nationalization period. In 1966 Milan Mandic, opens a restaurant in the same place where his father once did, and soon it became widely known and famous. After the death of Milan, the son Nikola inherits the job and gains more exalted reputation of "American". Many awards followed "Golden Fork", "Golden Hands", "Golden kebab", "Tourist Flower" (first private restaurant awarded).
When speaking about the family and the restaurant "American" one has to mention Dragica Mandic - known by the nickname `Keva` -Nikola Mandic`s mother, who had a very high culinary experience. In the latter years, with the help of a stick, she supervised all with her personal performance and advice.
Many people from Nis had the opportunity for the first time to taste Italian pasta according to original recipe or espresso coffee. The interior decoration of the restaurant is a successful blend of traditional and modern streams, especially is attractive rustic summer garden. The menu is mainly local cuisine, and authentic gourmet specialties such as grilled pork `rose` meat from five kinds of meat.
Pleasant atmosphere contributes old town (starogradska) acoustic music. Many, many foreign visitors have visited `American`. Proud to say that all the guests are truly dear, but there are those who are almost unreal: complete team known American TV series "Peyton Place", the film crew of "The Battle of Neretva" starred with Richard Burton together with his wife Elizabeth Taylor and, of course, all the actors who come to Nis Festival of Film Achievements every year.
For family Mandic this restaurant is their second house. Domestic touch is cherished even today for every single visitor.
