Velid Đekić Collection of Rock and Disco Culture in Rijeka

The Velid Đekić collection covers beginning of rock and disco culture not only in Rijeka but also in the former Yugoslavia. While working on the books 91 decibels (2009) and Red! River! Rock! (2013), Đekić collected materials on many of Rijeka's bands that have existed from the late 1950s until the early 1980s, and on the places where young people gathered. That is why this collection testifies to the unique history of rock 'n' roll behind the Iron Curtain.

Velid Đekić藏品涵盖了从摇滚和迪斯科文化的初期阶段，不仅限于里耶卡，亦涉及前南斯拉夫地区。在编纂《91分贝》（2009年）和《红！河！摇滚！》（2013年）两书的过程中，Đekić搜集了大量关于自20世纪50年代末至80年代初存在于里耶卡的多支乐队及其聚集场所的资料。因此，这一藏品见证了铁幕背后摇滚乐的独特历史。（The Velid Đekić collection covers the beginning of rock and disco culture not only in Rijeka but also in the former Yugoslavia.
