Goran Bregovic (Cyrillic: ????? ????????, born 22 March 1950) is a Bosnian recording artist.
He is one of the most internationally known modern musicians and composers of the Balkans, and is one of the few former Yugoslav musicians who has performed at major international venues such as Carnegie Hall, Royal Albert Hall and L'Olympia.
A Sarajevo native, Bregovic started out with Kodeksi and Jutro, but rose to prominence as the main creative mind and lead guitarist of Bijelo dugme, widely considered as one of the most popular recording acts ever to exist in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and one of the most important bands of the Yugoslav rock scene.
After Bijelo Dugme split up, he started composing film scores.
Among his better known film scores are three of Emir Kusturica's films (Time of the Gypsies, Arizona Dream, and Underground).
For Time of the Gypsies, Bregovic won a Golden Arena Award at the Pula Film Festival in 1990, among other awards.
He had also composed for the Academy Award-nominated film La Reine Margot and the Cannes-entered film The Serpent's Kiss. Bregovic, during his five-decade long career, has composed for critically acclaimed singers, including Sezen Aksu, Kayah, Iggy Pop, Šaban Bajramovic, George Dalaras and Cesária Évora.
