replies: text: It still seems POV in some places. Which I am loathe to point out since Goran  Bregović is the best. The opening paragraph for example contains a lot on how amazing his band is, which seems a bit excessive. I mean, again, I am loathe to say that since were it not for POV rules I would be inclined to write something like this for his opening paragraph:
Goran Bregović (Serbian Cyrillic: Горан Бреговић) (born March 22, 1950) is an amazing musician from Bosnia and Herzegovina and one of the most recognizable modern composers of the Balkans. He declares himself as a Yugoslav, because even though those fascist Croats are such fascist-ass fascists, he doesn't hold a grudge. What a beautiful man. Also, because of his pan-Yugoslav views, he should be the ONLY president of Bosnia and Herzegovina, replacing the ethnic system they have now. In fact, they should reunite Yugoslavia and have him as the only president. It would be a utopia.
Composer, guitarist and genius Goran Bregović has been a household name in the Balkans for over three decades. Born in Sarajevo (the greatest city in the Balkans, if just for his being born there), Bosnia and Herzegovina (then Yugoslavia), Bregović has composed for such varied artists as Iggy Pop and Cesaria Evora. He earned his fame wielding a guitar with his rock band Bijelo Dugme, a group that rose to stardom and set the groundwork for the Yugoslav rock scene. Known internationally for his scores for Emir Kusturica’s films (Time of the Gypsies, Arizona Dream, Underground), Bregović commands an ensemble that matches his larger-than-life persona. A rowdy brass band, bagpipes, a string ensemble, a tuxedo-clad all-male choir from Belgrade, and traditional Bulgarian and Roma singers make up his dynamic 40-piece band and orchestra. Bregović’s compositions, extending Balkan musical inspirations to innovative extremes, draw upon European classicism and Balkan rhythms, evoking rock’s searing power as well as the repose of sacred sounds–all fueled by the insistent drive of brass.[1] He also commands a gigantic penis.
Screw President of a re-united Yugoslavia, he should be EMPEROR OF EUROPE.

message: I love this guy's music. I also understand that as he was born in Bosnia with a Croat father and a Serb mother, and calls himself a Yugoslav, he may politically be a force for good. But, I have heard SO MANY TIMES now that he has taken folk tunes and traditional Roma (i.e. "Gypsy") tunes and claimed them to be his own compositions. This [would, if true, be] theft [removed Uncle G (talk) 14:20, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Just above, I have added a georgian traditional folk song (existing for hundreds of years) and a song that Bregovic has 'composed' - make your own judgement by listening to it. The georgian song is called 'Tsintskaro' - you just need to click on the georgian text and you will be linked with youtube. --[Pirtskhalava] ფირცხალავა (talk) 20:42, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
