"It was party time…a Balkan free-for-all, and the jam-packed auditorium went wild…" (The Jerusalem Post) Balkan music icon and acclaimed film composer Goran Bregovic celebrates the music of Europe’s Gypsy tradition. With a 20-piece ensemble consisting of a Serbian Gypsy band, a classical string ensemble, an all-male choir, two Bulgarian female singers, and Bregovic’s own electric guitar, the music blends raucous Gypsy dance tunes with traditional Eastern European choral music, spinning it all through a rock-and-roll cycle.
