Goran Bregović is a Bosnian-Serbian composer and musician, born on 22 March 1950 in Sarajevo. He first made his name as the lead guitarist and creative force behind Bijelo Dugme, one of the most popular rock bands in SFR Yugoslavia, before gaining international recognition for his film scores - above all his collaborations with director Emir Kusturica on 'Underground' (Palme d'Or, 1995) and 'Arizona Dream'. Touring the world with his Wedding and Funeral Orchestra, he weaves Balkan folk, Roma brass and rock into a sound that has filled Carnegie Hall, the Royal Albert Hall and l'Olympia.
Bregović released a new album in February 2026 and celebrated it with a concert with full orchestra at La Seine Musicale in Boulogne-Billancourt on March 17, 2026.
In 2026, Bregović is on an extensive tour with 28 planned shows in 25 cities, stretching from March to November.
Bregović collaborated with the Bosnian band Dubioza Kolektiv on the album 'God is not Your Babysitter', released in 2026.
In March 2025, Bregović & His Wedding & Funeral Band returned to Australia with performances at Sydney Opera House, WOMADelaide and Hamer Hall in Melbourne.
In October 2025, Bregović released new material, and in December 2025, another release followed.
