'Music is never enough - it has to be madness'
Maestro Goran Bregovic on why he thinks Balkan gypsy music is the best in the world.
When it comes to Balkan music, one of the biggest names in the business is Goran Bregovic. He's sold more than 15 million albums, and performs all over the world. He's the leader of a 40-strong, energetic brass-band - called the Wedding and Funeral Band - playing a blend of Gypsy music, traditional Balkan rhythms and rock. Goran's story starts in Sarajevo - in what was then Yugoslavia, now Bosnia - where he grew up with a Serbian mother and Croatian father.
