Moon and Stars - Weddings and Funerals – Goran Bregovic

At a place where cultures converge and where Aphrodite rules as the goddess of love and of the dead, world-famous musician and composer Goran Bregovic builds a world of unique sounds and exciting music with his ability to bring contrasting elements together.
