Rokeri s Moravu (Serbian Cyrillic: Рокери с Мораву, meaning Rockers from Morava ) was a Serbian band from the 1980s. Their music was an mix of Serbian folk substratum, with rock elements and the lyrics in folksy dialect of Šumadija and Morava valley, mixed with numerous popular culture references. Their visual trademark were Serbian šajkača caps, worn either with traditional dress and/or in crazy combinations with tuxedos, fur coats or A-shirts.
The band was formed in 1977 by Boris Bizetić, songwriter, occasional actor and singer and Branislav Anđelović, guitarist, songwriter and singer. They were later joined by Zvonko Milenković and Branko Janković. Branko Janković died in 1982 after a car accident during one of their tours. Rokeri recorded 19 albums between 1977 an 1991, when they split. The best-selling album was Krkenzi kikiriki from 1980. Their greatest hits include Turio Ljubiša pivo da se 'ladi, Ja Tarzan a ti Džejn, Stojadinka ovce šiša, Seks na eks. In 2005, 3 "best of" box sets of 2CDs each, titled Sabrana nedela (Collected misdeeds) was issued. A comeback album, "Projekat", was issued in 2007, recorded only by Bizetić and Zvonko Milenković.
Branislav Anđelović won a law-suit against Boris Bizetić in February 2006 over unautorized use of video and audio material in Sabrana nedela (Collected misdeeds).
