Adored by Polish audiences, Balkan musician and multi-instrumentalist Goran Bregovic will play a concert at Warsaw's Kongresowa Hall April 2. This will be his first Polish concert in a long while.

Bregovic, whose compositions are well known from moviese by director Emir Kusturica, is of Serbian and Croatian descent. His music reveals fascinations with Gypsy culture. While in Warsaw, he will play with Wedding and Funeral Band and a choir made up of singers from Bulgaria, Bosnia, Macedonia and Serbia.
