[edit]Biography

Jordan Nikolić graduated the Yugoslav literature and Serbian language at the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade. He found his interest while studying Serbian folk music in school. His first recording was made in 1961, in the Radio Pristina, and two years later he became the music editor of the same radio station. In 1968 he began recording for programs of Radio Belgrade, spreading the rich repertoaire of Kosovo folk songs.[1]

During a 50-year career, in cooperation with Mara Đorđević, Nikolić searched and saved from oblivion ancient songs from Kosovo and southern Serbia, some predating the Battle of Kosovo in 1389. About a hundred of his voice recordings are saved in Radio Belgrade archives. [2]

Nikolić participated in Jugovizija (Yugoslavian Eurosong qualification contest) in 1976.[3]
