In the world of contemporary musical performance, Branko
Bako Jovanović stands as a transcended the stereotype of
the tambura as an instrument only used for the traditional
city- nunique figure. Rightfully bearing the title of “the
world’s leading tambura player,” he has urban music. He
has given it new functionality across a wide range of
musical genres – from ethno sounds inspired by the rich
folkloric traditions of the Balkans, through Spanish
flamenco, Hungarian csárdás, Portuguese fado, manouche,
rebetiko, jazz, gypsy jazz, all the way to his own unique
fusions through which he builds his own artistic identity.
By opening new musical horizons for the tambura, and
driven by the artistic intuition that led him to explore
genres where the instrument traditionally does not belong,
he has crafted an authentic playing style distinguished by
virtuosity and a keen sense for the diverse temperaments
of music.
His performances today can be described as high-level musical events that leave the general audience and professional musicians speechless. They are marked by a unique sound palette, reflected in his exceptional playing technique... LEARN MORE
