Gjurmët ((英語:The Traces)) was an Albanian former Yugoslav new wave group from Pristina. The band lasted from 1980 until 1986 and was composed of five members, including the vocalist Migjen Kelmendi, now a known journalist and publicist. == History == The band was formed in 1980 by Migjen Kelmendi (vocals, rhythm guitar), the son of the writer and journalist Ramiz Kelmendi, inspired by new wave music.〔http://www.esiweb.org/index.php?lang=en&id=280&portrait_ID=7"〕 The lineup also included Armando Gjini (piano, synthesizer), Tomor Kurshumliu (vocals, bass guitar), Petrit Riza (drums) and Bekim Dyla (lead guitar). During the same year, the band recorded the first new wave song in SAP Kosovo.〔Hudelist, Darko, ''Kosovo - Bitka bez iluzija'', page 120〕 In 1984, the band recorded the material for their debut album, however, it was during 1985 that the album was released.〔Hudelist, Darko, ''Kosovo - Bitka bez iluzija'', page 124〕 The reason for the delay of the release was the controversial album cover which featured dancers performing the traditional Albanian "Eagle dance", making a shape of a double-headed eagle with their posture.〔 Eventually, the album was released by Radio Television of Pristina, on compact cassette only, and featured the band photo on the front cover on which Kelmendi is looking at his wrist watch as a comment on the release delay.〔 The album featured a combination of new wave, post-punk and folk music.〔Hudelist, Darko, ''Kosovo - Bitka bez iluzija'', page 121〕 The following year, in 1986, the band disbanded. Kelmendi became a journalist and was head of editing for the programme Contacto on Radio Television of Pristina (1988-1990), executive producer of Victoria Television of New York (1996) and of the Programme Albanian Satellite (1997-1999), and director of television of Radio Television of Kosovo (2000-2001). He was also the founder of the weekly magazine Epoca (1991) and of the literary magazine MM (1996) and is currently editor of the weekly newspaper Java, which he founded in 2001.〔 He has written four books, including the book ''To Change The World: A Short History of The Traces'' about musical his career.〔 In 2002, a compilation album ''LP'' featuring a collection of material the band had recorded in the course of the 1980s had been released.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gjurmët」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
