Thank you UMS! The evening with Bregovic was full of sound and good fun. As someone with ties to the region, it was especially interesting to watch the crowd of locals and folks from the region (I’d say at least a fifth was made up of various Eastern European nationalities) becoming so moved by the music. While I can understand some of the more negative comments posted above from a technical perspective, I would like to call attention to inherent complexity of what Bregovic has created. His ability to weave so many regional and international musical influences into one show, song, or even melody, is astounding. The work was joyous and positive while touching upon very heavy political threads of church, statehood, tradition, and even war. What a fantastic and soulful performance.
