World Music Blog: Goran Bregovic

More at http://www.linktv.org/worldmusic/blog

Without question the most successful musician to come out of Sarajevo, Goran Bregovic has brought the sound of the Balkans to millions, first from his soundtracks for such films as Emir Kusturica's "Time of the Gypsy" and "Underground," followed by a plethora of collaborations with top flight musicians as disparate as Iggy Pop and Sezen Akcu, (remember "Prawy do Lewego" with Polish diva Kayah?) and more recently by touring with his "Wedding and Funeral Band." His music is special to me, just because it touched me deeply during the days after 9/11. It seemed to reach out and say "I know how you are feeling." So I was a teeny bit nervous meeting him. I needn't have worried. We laughed a lot! Maybe I should have brought along a bottle of Slivovitz.

Meni su ove Goranive izvedbe sa ovim njegovim orkestrom sve slicne, slusas jednu, drugu, trecu, sve imaju isti onaj ton, zvuk, bas, sta li, kako se to muzicki vec kaze...

Iako mi se cini tako, ja mu odajem priznanje na osvajanju svjetski scena sa tom muzikom, koja je meni pomalo "sumnjiva", mada kod nas moze uspijeti svako ako svira ove danasnje "poznate zvukove", Boze me sacuvaj...

Bate, ti zvuci Srbije kao i zvuci anatolije i turskih vojnih orkestara koji su proveli gotovo set vijekova kod nas u gostima. U Jugoslaviji se njegovala muzicka tradicija i bez komunistickih / socijalistickih aparacika koji su posijali sjeme Guce prije pedest godina da bi na neki nacin ublazili efekte industrijalizacije na ruralna podrucja, Guce ne bi bilo danas. A ako cemo da trazimo istinu, moramo prizanti da bez Romskog kulturno-muzickog doprinosa toj istoj etno muzici, trube nema nigdje.

ima toga svuda, jeste to srpsko tradicionalno, ali jebajio ga nekad smo bili svi zajendo pa je to donekle i ostalo tako:))

Kakav crni 'Sound of Balkans', to je jedna velika obmana. To su zvuci Srbije, jer se u Srbiji negovala tradicija trube i etno muzike. U Srbiji se i odrzava Guca. Vidim u Hrvatskoj, Bosni, Crnoj Gori,Sloveniji, Albaniji, Bugarskoj i Rumuniji sve se ubise od trube.
