ALL GUITAR CHORDS SHEET

Live @t Avellino, 9/3/2007

This is the second time that I see Goran Bregovic. Its balkan sound and his past rock influence was here on the stage across his soundtrack and the tracks of his new album Karmen. For a lots of photo here, I was very lucky, I stay for a bit sitting in the first line on the chairs under the stage, so focus and light quality is magnificant!


Composer and guitarist Goran Bregovic has been a household name in the Balkans for over three decades. Born in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina (then Yugoslavia), Bregovic has composed for such varied artists as Iggy Pop and Cesaria Evora. He earned his fame wielding a guitar with his rock band Bijelo Dugme, a group that rose to stardom and set the groundwork for the Yugoslav rock scene. Known internationally for his scores for Emir Kusturica’s films (Time of the Gypsies, Arizona Dream, Underground), Bregovic commands an ensemble that matches his larger-than-life persona. A rowdy brass band, bagpipes, a string ensemble, a tuxedo-clad all-male choir from Belgrade, and traditional Bulgarian and Roma singers make up his dynamic 40-piece band and orchestra. Bregovic’s compositions, extending Balkan musical inspirations to innovative extremes, draw upon European classicism and Balkan rhythms, evoking rock’s searing power as well as the repose of sacred sounds–all fueled by the insistent drive of brass.

Pretty much every Morricone record Ive heard is amazing, and no exception here. MALAMONDO is an awesome one to have on vynil with that cool collage cover, and a white label promo in excelent condition I might add. Its an early Morricone score from 1964 for a Mondo Cane type film about teenagers around the world, and already has Morricones very unique use of voice as an instrument and that trademark spaghetti guitar. My favorite song on this one at the moment is Velvet Muscles. As for GUNS FOR SAN SEBASTIAN it was sort of what I expected, western music from 1968 by THE master of the genre, but a slightly less weird sounds than say The Good The Bad And The Ugly, and more calm very soothing pieces, this one is a recent reissue. Both records very impressive.
