June 4, 2011Goran Bregovic, Inna and many other Balkan stars would perform tomorrow (4th of June) for the Balkan music awards concert at Battenberg Square in Sofia. Starts at 21:00 but you may want to go earlier to find a good spot 🙂
Since 1997, Bregović has been touring the world with his Wedding and Funeral Orchestra — an impressive ensemble of brass musicians, Bulgarian voices, a male vocal sextet, and a string quartet. His concerts are electrifying two-hour shows that blend Balkan rhythms, Romani music, tango, and classical elements into something entirely his own. He has performed at legendary venues such as Carnegie Hall, the Royal Albert Hall, and l’Olympia in Paris, but also in front of 250,000 people in Diyarbakır on the Turkish-Syrian border. His music is instantly recognizable and never fails to get the audience on their feet — whether on a festival stage or a city square in Sofia.
