Happy Child is the first monograph about the new wave, about music, culture, newspapers, and above all about people who, in the gray times at the turn of the eighties, created a different history without even being aware of it.
In this personal history of the new wave, Igor Mirković tells the story of kids in a small town that is at the tail end of all events, and their need to stir up the swamp.
Happy Child is a story about Zagreb and the generation of the eighties, about a creative explosion that created good vibes and spread them throughout the country through music.
A happy child is a story about children who protested against the spiritual dullness of late socialism with a song, about people who wanted the West now and immediately, so they materialized it for themselves on a few meters of asphalt.
The happy child is the story of Azra, Bijelo Dugmet, Electric Orgasm, Film, Haustor, Idols, Pankrti, Patrol, Dirty Theater, Šarlo the Acrobat, but also Polet, Tom Gotovac, Jukebox, New Square, Kugla Theater and others who made the whole city he dances like crazy.
The happy child is the story of Johnny, Jaja, Jura, Gilet, Pik, Max, Misha, Rinči, Boris, Vlada, Srđan, Darko and other heroes from the album, the stage and from pieces of pavement on the route Kavkaz - Zvečka - Blato.
The Happy Child is a piece of urban history told through the eyes of Igor Mirković - a teenager who watched everything from the sidelines, who faithfully followed the newly acquired idols from concert to concert, who let his opinion be mixed in the crucial years of growing up by one newspaper - tells about how sometimes it takes very little for something to happen that will mark generations.
