Roma musicians are one of the key symbols of the city of Vranje (southern Serbia). This
is the case thanks to Bora Stanković’s literary work, in which Roma musicians were
depicted as excellent musicians, as extremely adept at playing, singing, and dancing,
and as extremely original with a high artistic reach that led to international recognition. Through creative interpretations and the nurturing of the local musical legacy,
Roma musicians have transcended local borders, and have made Vranje popular at
festivals in Serbia and internationally. This paper explores the role of Roma musicians,
especially trumpeters, in Vranje residents’ local identifi ation. It especially analyses
the discourses and practices linked to raising a monument to Bakija Bakić (Vranje,
1923–1989), who stands out as a symbol of trumpeting in southern Serbia due to the
specificity of his musical expression and his prestigious recognition. He is a musician
who has started to forge a path for the ...Vranje trumpeters from the local to the international scene. The city raised a monument to Bakija Bakić in 2006 in Gornja Čaršija, a
Roma settlement in which he lived his whole life. The choice of location for the monument (the city centre versus the Roma settlement) was the subject of a polemic, as
besides being a famous citizen of Vranje, he was also a member of the Roma community. The paper draws parallels with the processes and procedures underpinning the
memorialization of the Roma musicians Janika Balaž and Šaban Bajramović.
