He left Bosnia and Herzegovina before the Bosnian War. Recently, he announced his official return to Sarajevo and set up Roma education foundation. Bregović has composed for such varied artists as Iggy Pop and Cesária Évora. He rose to fame playing guitar with his rock band Bijelo Dugme. Among his better known scores are three of Emir Kusturicas films (Time of the Gypsies, Arizona Dream, and Underground). The song Maki Maki was recorded by Goran Bregovic on his 2002 album Tales and Songs from Weddings and Funerals, with the vocal performed by Saban Bajramovic, the great Gypsy singer who died in 2008. Its very loosely based on an old Romanian folk song Bun e vinul ghiurghiuliu, which you can hear as recorded by the late Romanian traditional singer Maria Tanase. Enjoy!
