Pera Janjatovic, a rock critic and the author of the illustrated edition of the Ex Yu Rock Encyclopedia<\/strong>, was a guest on the second panel of the “Conversations with…” series leading up to this year’s Arsenal Fest at the Youth Center in Kragujevac, led by Maja Cvetkovic.<\/p>\n

During the panel, Pera provided a comprehensive musical guide to Arsenal Fest 2024. He reminisced about the 60s and Zdravko Colic, the 70s and Bijelo Dugme, Brejkers, and the 80s, then onto Goblins and Jarbol who rocked the 90s, and finally Nicim izazvan and their beginnings in 2010.<\/p>\n

Throughout the panel, they also discussed the process of gathering biographies and interesting facts, and when asked if, after all these years of research, he had made any mistakes or errors regarding specific years, Pera responded: “Yes, of course. Well, you can’t, there’s so much data to sift through.”<\/p>\n

In all his encyclopedias, the photographs were black and white, but as Janjatovi\u0107 says: “we’ve progressed a bit,” so in the recently published fifth expanded edition of the illustrated Ex Yu Rock Encyclopedia, there are some color photographs.<\/p>\n

During the conversation, Pera mentioned that he “didn’t consider how many people would be in the encyclopedia, just what potential readers would find important and interesting to know,” and he recalled various anecdotes.<\/p>\n

In the packed hall of the Youth Center in Kragujevac, there were both questions and follow-up questions for Pera from the audience, as well as signings of the encyclopedia.<\/p>\n
