This wonderful new project from the celebrated composer and bandleader Goran Bregovic combines music and drama in a captivating evening of entertainment. Working with a gypsy brass band, a string quartet, a six piece Bulgarian choir, and an actress, Bregovic conjures an emotionally-charged mediation on war, loss, love and life - garlanded, as ever, by infectious and resonant melodies.
