Goran Bregović (Serbian Cyrillic: Горан Бреговић; born 22 March 1950) is a recording artist born in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He is one of the most internationally known modern musicians and composers of the Slavic speaking countries in the Balkans, and one of the few former Yugoslav musicians who have performed at major international venues such as Carnegie Hall, Royal Albert Hall and L'Olympia.

After Bijelo Dugme split up, he embarked on several critically and commercially successful solo projects, and started composing film scores. Read more on Wikipedia
