Radislav "Rajko" Kojià(Serbian Cyrillic: àðôøÃÂûðò-àðÃÂúþ ÃÂþÃÂøÃÂ; 12 April 1956 – 11 April 1997) was a Serbian guitarist best known for his work with band Riblja ÃÂorba.
Rajko KojiÃÂ was born on 12 April 1956 in Jarkovac. He started dealing with music, when he was in high school, when he started to play guitar.
Kojiàstarted his career in 1973 as the guitarist for the band Demoni from Jarkovac. As the band did not have a bass guitarist Kojiàwould sometimes play bass guitar. In 1974, he joined band MBG. He played only three concerts with MBG before moving to Belgrade at the end of 1975. In 1976, Kojiàformed band MBG II with another former MBG member Borivoje Kneà ¾eviÃÂ. Kojiàsoon met MomÃÂilo Bajagiàwith whom he formed band Glogov Kolac, which performed only once in Uljma. After Glogov Kolac disbanded, Kojiàjoined band SOS led by Mià ¡a AleksiÃÂ. In 1978, SOS members KojiÃÂ, Aleksiàand Vicko Milatoviàformed Riblja ÃÂorba with a former Rani Mraz member Bora ÃÂorÃÂeviÃÂ. This lineup of the band made enormous success with their debut single "Lutka sa naslovne strane" and soon, on KojiÃÂ's suggestion, Bajagiàjoined the band.
In 1983, Kojiàreleased his solo EP Ne budi me bez razloga (Don't Wake Me up without a Good Reason). Other Riblja ÃÂorba members made guest appearances on this EP. EP also featured Laza Ristovski on keyboard. In 1984, both Kojiàand Bajagiàleft the band and were replaced by Vidoja Boà ¾inoviàand Nikola ÃÂuturilo. After leaving Riblja ÃÂorba, Kojiàwas involved in only few projects: He made a guest appearance on Bajaga i Instruktori album JahaÃÂi magle in 1986, wrote part of the folk band Svilen Konac's song "Sad ljubavi vià ¡e nema" in 1987 and made a guest appearance on Indijanci self-titled album in 1995.
In 1984, KojiÃÂ began using heroin and his addiction led to him being expelled from the band. He made attempts to quit, but was unsuccessful. In spring of 1997, he was transferred in very poor health to a hospital in Belgrade where he died a few weeks later, on 11 April at the age of 40. He was buried in his native village of Jarkovac.
