Mitrovica Rock Music School



Divided we live, united we rock!

A school of rock and roll for the children of war. We are in Mitrovica. 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Mitrovica has become the new Berlin of Europe, divided not by bricks and mortar but by the river Ibar: on one side the Albanians on the other the Serbs. In the middle a new school of rock and roll, which brings back the glorious past of Mitrovica, once renowned in the Balkan area as one of the “capitals of rock”. The project began in October 2009 , an idea of the Dutch NGO “Musicians with no Frontiers”, aiming at rebuilding the cultural makeup of the city and communication between the two sides using the universal language of music.
