Goran Bregović - AlkoholOfficial CD Release - North American Premiere

Roots in the Balkans where he stems from, head in the 21st Century which he fully inhabits, Goran Bregovic's music marries sounds of a be-devilled gypsy brass band with traditional Balkan polyphonies, those of an electric guitar and traditional percussion with a curious rock accent.... creating music that our soul recognizes instinctively and the body greets with an irresistible urge to dance.

Goran Bregovic is one of the most internationally renowned modern composers of the Balkans and his works also enjoy considerable demand in the film world. A number of works by Bregovic can be heard on the soundtrack to the 2006 film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. Besides 2 more scores for Emir Kusturica (Arizona Dream, Underground), a host of films that Goran has scored have been nominated for Best Foreign Film Oscars, Cesar Awards and Cannes Film Festival's Palm D'or's.

"Alkohol was recorded live in Guca in the summer of 2007. Guca is a small town in Serbia of maybe 20,000 inhabitants that holds an annual, world renowned, contest of brass bands in August.  The town swells to 150,000 people who, under tents, drink, eat grilled meat and sour-kraut the Serbian way and drink and listen to the music and drink again, for three days... which explains the title." - Goran Bregovic about Alkohol.

Alkohol is the first Goran Bregovic album released in North America.  Party Produced in association with Absolute Entertainment
