Kovac, Boris - Damari (artist released CDR)
SKU
KACHORA001
Boris Kovac is a mavelous composer from Serbia. He released 1 CD on ReR and two on Victo (and I luckily managed to see him and his ensemble when they performed at the Victoriaville Festival in the late 80s), but he's really very little known here. The good news is that we have a modest number of this fine release to sell. The bad news is that these are CDRs, but, unfortunately, that's the only way to get this music.
"Boris Kovac is one of a handful of modern composers and performers from the region of Hungary, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia whose names reached Western Europe and America. Strongly influenced by folk music from that region (a fascination he shares with István Mártha and Ernö Király), minimalism, Bela Bartok, and the philosophy of Bela Hamvas (also influential on Hungarian composer Tibor Szemzö), Kovac's music takes multiple forms."-François Couture/All Music Guide
