Luketoni, you obviously don't know anything about music and you are simply a hater.
Over the years I heard people like you saying words like "fraudster" and "it is easy to just steal music". If it is that easy, how come he's been so successful for over 4 decades, and played in over 100 countries? When it is so easy why don't you do it?
As for "Serbia having much better, real musicians than him" LOL, that's only your (in my opinion pathetic) opinion.
I on the other hand don't think so.
Since this is not your private playlist, if you don't like it just change the station. Leave, and take your hate with you.
I Agree! Very well stated! What is Luketoni good at? ...eh?

Goran Bregović is a common fraudster and compiler. This is not his music; he only takes money for other people's music,from the very first day when he started to play music.You should remove it from the playlist. Serbia have many much better , real musicians than he.
From me : - 1

I also come exactly where Brega is from (city of Sarajevo) and listened to Bijelo Dugme all my life. SOME of their songs' lyrics are written by Trifunovic and they are truly great but definitely not all, not even most. Bijelo Dugme most definitely does NOT owe its success to Trifunovic's lyrics but to it's own music.
It is quite a phenomenon how many people from Bosnia are hellbent on so easily proclaiming Bregovic a con artist. He is the MOST successful musician of all times from former Yugoslavia who wrote music for over 40 years. Sure he used a lot of popular folk themes especially in his work after the Balkan wars but it is part of our our (and HIS) cultural heritage and it only inspired him. Calling his project a theft of Serbian brass bend music shows that you actually don't understand the origin and purpose of folk music. As for his early Rock pieces (best known as Pastirski Rok), again, yes the influence of various world leading bands from that era are sometime visible but most bands in those times were inspired by each others (and that includes Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, etc.).
Calling Goran Bregovic a con artist is pitiful and downright hateful. I think that people saying so are simply jealous of his success and great work over decades.
I come from the same part of the world as Bregovic (known to locals as Brega).
Saw him for the first time in the early 70' at the one day festival at Hajducka Cesma (Highwayman Spring) with the band Jutro (Morning) which eventually became Bjelo Dugme (White Button) the most successful band in the former Yugoslavia.
Their success was due mainly to wonderful lyrics (by poet Dusko Trifunovic). However, not only in my view, no musical originality at all - stealing left right and centre from all over the world and all genres.
The same with his current project. Total theft of Serbian brass band music. If you want to hear a real unadulterated power this type of music visit a yearly festival in the Serbian village Guca.
In short, despite his enormous success, he is considered in serious circles to be a con artist. Though, great arranger, credit where it due.

Saw his entourage a few times live... What a workout! Loads of fun and ooompahhh!

As if Borat composed mariachi. And not in a good way.

The soundtrack from a really great, adorable movie: Underground by Emir Kusturica... love it!
This is completely off its head - I love it! 
Great Slavic Brass band sound, although he is nor Roma or Sinti, the groove does not care.
fun music, I need to check out the film!

Two thumbs up, more for the juxtaposition than the songs themselves!

If we're having this much trouble pronouncing the name of the band and the type of music that's playing we'd be here until midnight if there were lyrics to this.

Nope, Guča is known for festival of trumpet music, its simply balkan gypsy music, present in south east balkan region.
Trumpet, mostly used because a lot of them were left from VW 1, and it was available as instrument.
Goran managed to put all pieces together, nothing original, he stole this music from true masters of this kind of music; Feat Sejdic, Ferus Mustafov, Shaban Bajramovic, Ilmi Jasharov, Fanfare Ciocarlia etc.. Reason why i mention this, because those artist were robbed from recognition and its a shame. Anyone who like this kind of music, could find above mentioned artist, some good stuff is available on YT..
Sorry for poor English
Origin of this music is Guča, Serbia.

She always replied with a sad troubled face, "Katastrophe, Katastrophe."

Smell the chevapchichi, Leskovacka lepinja & kajmak, prebranac and a sound of gypsy's trumphet. Balkan all the way :)
Calexico anyone?
I wonder if Bill was ever a dancer. This stuff is great.
this is awful
the only real thing in my ears by Goran Bregovic is the stuff he played with polish singer Kaya
Crank it up REALLY loud! Shake your butt and throw your arms in the air.... woohooooo

I think that describes it pretty well. Diggin' it.
This album was conceived as the OST for "underground" (the kusturica's one, not that other crap...)..So lads watch the movie and think again about the rating.....IMHO a truly deserved 8...
this guy did the music for "Borat" too, i believe.

This was a thoroughly strange movie, I loved some of it but my overall experience was just "what the hell?". Didn't help that I really felt like I was missing a lot of the subtext and symbolism.
Gotta say, the music is immediately identifiable after hearing it for 2.5 hours or whatever the movie ran. Made me laugh to hear it again. :)
Of course, in my world the natural song to follow Underworld - Trim and a song from the movie "Underground" is Tom Waits - Underground. I just love any excuse to hear Tom Waits though... :)

The drumming's fun but those horns need more than one riff. But I guess if you're dancing at a wedding (presumably snockered) you probably couldn't care less.
in kosturica's films not only the wedding guests are snockered. everybody is generally plastered throughout...

music from one of kosturica's fims i schould expect? maybe from 'underground' seeing as it followed 'underworld'? great film anyway with a non stop bregovic soundtrack.

No worries - there are enough of us Yanks that appreciate Goran to keep the positive comments coming - and thanks, Bill, for recognizing that there's a place for GB on the RP playlist!
Okay, that was on the verge of actually being painful it was so annoying.
I dig it! The album he did with Kajah in Polish a few years ago is very nice, and was a huge hit here. Go Goran! Also nice segue from "Underworld" a very interesting film Bregovic did the sound track to. Recommended viewing RP listeners.
