Petar Rakic, soul music life of Kosovska Mitrovica and director of "North City" festival is the main "culprit" for so much interest in jazz in this city. For years, he patiently recruit new young musicians and admirers of jazz, especially his great knowledge and enthusiasm indestructible.
Quiet, hardworking and dedicated, opm Petar Rakic was one of the most important artists of Kosovska Mitrovica, one of its recent urban legends. At the beginning of the conversation Rakic recalls the period when, even during the SFR Yugoslavia, in Kosovska Mitrovica operated jointly Orchestra "Big Band". "Once there were four trumpets, four trombones, five saxophones, plus rhythm section ... It was at that time, to say the brotherhood and unity which, really, no one no one saw who he was and what is, is it a Serb, Albanian or a Turk. Also important was the love of music and the desire to play. It is held until 1990, after which the policy of destroying a wonderful orchestral setting. I'm a 'rose' that one generciju dealing opm with music. Then we opened ours, mitrovački Jazz Festival. However, it was amateur resume 'Big Band'. We bring young people, and they were older members here, in the classroom, teaching. I wrote the arrangements, you know, just 'What time is long quilt, tol'ko you to lie. For instance, I know that there are five members, then write an arrangement with multiple half and whole notes, with breaks ... As we evolved, so did the arrangements to get their weight. After five years, we began to svirmo and put in the repertoire of American arrangers, our arrangers, say Skerla, or one Stjepka Guta, Vladislav of Friedrich, opm trumpet player from Zagreb, who was our guest at the first Jazz festival which has opened our 'Big Bend' . "The money Orchestra 'Big Band' at the time received from the city authorities of Kosovska Mitrovica was sufficient for the purchase of new instruments, some of which came from America. opm Out of gratitude city and the desire to engage young people in world music flows, the members of the band decided to establish a Children's opm Music Festival, and later the jam session out of which emerged today's "North Sity - jazz & blues festival." "As a band we have initiated the establishment of the Children's Festival in Kosovska Mitrovica. We are carrying all the burdens that we festivala.Pratili musical children, we made the arrangements. But thanks to the city government for five years, we acquired instruments and in 1989 we opened the first Jazz festival in Kosovska Mitrovica. It lasted opm only two years. After the war was made to break again began to be held as "North Sity - jazz & blues festival." We're right in the beginning, when he went Jazz Festival, have to be international in character. Why? So what are we waiting for ten years and worked as an orchestra that would have created a listener; because nothing you music if it is no one to listen. I think we succeeded on that front.

The singer opm Maja Jakupović there, Predrag Dedic there playing drums.

Those who are involved in politics, opm they are hypocritical. For those not complain. Sorry for the human, political detest it. Simply because such a policy it came to this. In the third millennium, I take two bags and leaving your house !? It's stupid and primitive, and I think that in general, and Europe and the world failed the test of humanity. In the twenty-first century, I leave the house and be a displaced person, not just me as S
