Trio Balkan Strings - Zoran Starcevic & sons

     The guitar family, from Belgrade–Serbia, performs its original instrumental music, a fusion of many Balkan elements: Serbian, Gypsy, Macedonian, Romanian, Moldavian, Bulgarian, Mediterranean, Greek, Oriental…including Jazz, Swing and classical elements. The result, combining many cultures, is rich and unconventional, fresh and spontaneous, brimming with energy. They has performed in many Jazz, Classical Guitar, World music festivals and concerts in: USA (Boston, New York, Chicago, Portland, Washington DC, San Francisco, Charlotte, Greensboro…), Canada (Toronto, Vancouver...), Italy, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, Russia (Moscow) Moldova, Slovakia, Finland, Austria, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia...They  did master classes-clinics and concerts for classical and Jazz guitar students in Europe and in the USA. (NYU - New York University, New Trier High School-Chicago,  The Rivers Music School-Boston...). Their music is like a handmade carpet, colorful and full of beautiful ornaments, but when you look more carefully and closely, you will see all the beauty of colors and art of every single pattern, thread and string woven in. Trio Balkan Strings is that kind of a carpet which one of the best Balkan guitar players, Zoran Starcevic, has been weaving on guitar strings all his life. It demands a lot of experience and technique, as well as the sophisticated feeling. Nikola’s and Zeljko’s classical guitar education added some classical guitar techniques and elements and therefore was very useful in writing this music. There is also an influence of the West culture, because Zoran has started his career as a rock musician. He sold a million records in various different musical styles, but his first, final and greatest love is instrumental guitar music. You cannot find anything similar to this interpretation in all the discography, because some ornaments and techniques distinctive for other instruments such as sax and violin found place here. Many of the trills, mordents and the legato technique have never been played on guitar strings before. Authentic, attractive music with the finest taste, real presentation of guitar music in Balkan style and arrangement. You will hear the perfect interpretation from three of them and the universal music language, without frontiers, that fills everyone who listens to the Trio Balkan Strings. The Balkans is multinational region with many cultures mixed and with no sharp borders between them. For centuries the music, influenced by the unstable region, has been colored by nostalgia and strange sadness written in the collective memory. The music of all the Balkan nations has something in common, and it seems that they play, dance and listen to the same music, but the interpretation is much different.  It is a music trip to that part of Europe, so if you like any of these elements, or you simply like instrumental guitar music, Trio Balkan Strings  is your perfect choice. The Trio has signed a contract for CD Balkan Guitars-Guitares des Balkans with Sunset-France-PlayaSound, a French music company specialized in World music for thirty years. The publisher in Serbia is PGP RTS and Starcevic Production. The new CD, Water-mill, is released in March 2007.

Zoran Starcevic et ses deux fils réalisent une fusion des musiques traditionnelles des pays balkans (Serbie, Bulgarie, Macédoine, Roumanie...) sous une forme jazzifiée. Le résultat est un CD étincelant spontané, et plein d'énergie ! Pas étonnant, que la musique de Zoran se soit vendue par centaines de milliers de CDs dans sa Yougoslavie natale.                                                                                                                                                       CD Guitare des Balkans -  PlayaSound-France
