Like a pied piper, Goran Bregovic enjoys a strong following of his music which marry the sounds of gypsy brass bands with traditional Balkan rhythms and Bulgarian polyphonies. Highlights of his film music from Arizona Dream, Underground, Tales & Songs from Weddings and Times of the Gypsies will captivate you with an irresistible urge to dance!

For Bregovic, a former communist pop idol born in a now vanished country, music is about humanity. And that is reflected in the wide musical spectrum of the Wedding and Funeral Band – from earthy dance music, to playful pop tunes, to almost spiritual, meditative pieces. A consummate showman, Bregovic has toured throughout Europe with his Wedding and Funeral Band – a polish string-orchestra, 3 Bulgarian singers, a Serb man's chorus, a drummer and a guitarist – and promises to have the audience on its feet and begging for more.

In the intimate space of the troupe's white spherical tent, 900 members of the audience will lie back on deckchairs which surround the artists for an experience both surreal and exhilarating.
