Goran Bregovic and His Wedding and Funeral Orchestra June 23, 2009

With roots in the Balkans and a head in the 21st Century, Goran Bregovic creates music that marries different sounds - a gypsy brass band with traditional Bulgarian polyphonies, an electric guitar and traditional percussion with a curious rock accent - all against a background of a bedevilled string orchestra and deep sonorities of a male choir. He creates music that the soul recognizes instinctively and the body greets with an irresistible urge to dance.
