The Wedding and Funeral Orchestra in Mexico

Goran Bregovic and his Wedding and Funeral are in Mexico a second time. His first visit seven months ago, took place under the Universal Forum of Cultures Monterrey 2007 and this time they are guests of Festival of Mexico in the Historic Center that celebrates its twenty-fourth edition.

Serbian musician opened last April 18, the segment "Radical Mestizo" festival, by José Luis Paredes, "Pacho" , who is one of the main promoters of the artist's visit to Mexico Balkans.

Bregović presented at the City Theater on Friday and Saturday ancestors the "Alcohol", the title of his forthcoming album, named for the relationship they have alcoholic beverages with gypsy music.

"You drink when you are happy, the same as when there is sadness and thus also passes with my music, "Goran said at a news conference, hours before the first of his concerts in the capital.

This Sunday, April 27, Goran Bregovic will also be responsible for closing the festival, in a joint submission with the Banda Instrumenta Oaxaca, scheduled for 18 hours in the Plaza Santo Domingo , just blocks from the Zocalo.

addition to the aforementioned dates (18 and 19 April at the Teatro de la Ciudad and 27 April in the Plaza Santo Domingo), Goran Bregovic and his musicians were at the Teatro Diana in Guadalajara on Wednesday 23 and in the Plaza de la Danza, in Oaxaca, on Friday 25, celebrating the 476 years of that city.

Goran and the nine members of his (in this case reduced) band will be joined by more than 40 musicians from Oaxaca (from 13 to 22 years), belonging to the Banda Instrumenta Oaxaca.

The first experiment took place last Friday in Oaxaca and repeated on Sunday at the heart of the largest city in the world. If the program is similar, it is expected that the concert will open the orchestra Oaxaca, singing some regional compositions and continue with some input from the same side of Bregovic, including "War" and "Ederlezi".

In the last part of the concert, Goran and his Gypsy Orchestra will present the rest of his repertoire, 20 songs from the albums "Underground", "Time of Gypsies", "Stories and Songs for Weddings and Funerals" and "Karma" his latest album.

There will, of course, songs like "In The Deathcar", "No", "Underground" Tango "," Cajesukarije-Cocek "," Mesecina " "Ya Ya (Ringe Ringe Raja)", "Borino Gold", "So Nevo Si," "Gas, Gas", "Pampur Galbeno", "Bijav" (with special mention for our country, sung by Alen Ademovic) and frantic closing "Kalasnjikov", then it burst with a square, Roma and bouncy, happy to see Goran Bregovic live at the same time nostalgic for his imminent departure.

When Was Women Allowed To Drive

Pepico, Pepico, Goran Bregovic in Mexico (sixth)

first six posts I intend to do on the visit by Goran Bregovic to Mexico. Almost all (those who know me, of course) know that is one of my favorite musicians and even in this blog I've mentioned many times, I wish now to dwell a bit more about it.

in principle because he's here, then I am more than happy for your visit to Mexico City and, finally, because I do not like nadita what our "cultural journalists" have said, written about it (for poor and inaccurate, although it is appreciated that today at least have taken the trouble to give space to the gypsy music in national newspapers, magazines and the occasional television news). And yes, also because I have no plans to "cover note" to any means and I can elaborate gladly return here.


These will therefore be the following items on the blog: the note of the event, notes on Goran and his music, his Wedding and Funeral and my very personal account of the concert is the second tour in Mexico.

All this, of course, with photos, videos and brief interviews that I could make it last Friday during a press conference after his presentation at the City Theatre and in September 2007, when it hit the side of Marco plaza in Monterrey. Be

that many out there do not know and others do not care, but I suppose that as I enjoy reading the reviews of his concerts in Chile, Argentina and Spain, someone will poke out here to read, watch and listen with pleasure the "Yugoslav" Brega, the sound of trumpets, tubas and drums, choirs of Hungarians, the electric guitar and screaming Serbs barely understand, but I want to sing and dance.

Thanks for the read.
