THE BAND "SAN" AND STUDIES
The founding and work of the band "San" presents the period of time when Sanja Ilic was still studying architecture. Like all young bands the band "San" started off by competing with local bands through house sessions and then moved on to club performances... after which followed radio broadcasts and recordings of the band's first singles. The band "San" thus toured the whole Adriatic coast from Porec to Ulcinj playing on terrace restaurants during the summer.

The band, with a very promising future, according to the opinion of experts and critics of the time, nourished polyphony singing. Sanja being an educated musician and as leader of the band succeeded in attaching to the band a very distinctive polyphony sound, but the band lasted only for a short period of time due to an accident that happened at the concert in the Cair Hall of the city of Nis where in front of an audience of 5000 the lead singer and guitarist of the band, and best friend of Sanja Ilic, Predrag Jovicic, got killed from electric shock. Sanja stopped playing with the band and dedicated his time to studying architecture and started his post-graduate studies.
