Eastern Blok's Biography:
The Los Angeles Times calls Eastern Blok's music "relentlessly
innovative work." Downbeat Magazine claims that "the ensemble playing
is often breakneck and consistently challenging." Acoustic Guitar
Magazine raves that Eastern Blok plays with "blazing virtuosity and
sheer beauty." After performing over 300 shows a year and selling more
than 3,000 records, the band formerly known as The Goran Ivanovic
Group has recorded a new album, changed their name, and has been
successfully packing venues throughout the country since the release
of their self-titled debut album in 2005. Eastern Blok's
"extraordinary pan-cultural ensemble effortlessly blends classical and
jazz music with the rich folkloric traditions of Macedonia, Bulgaria,
and Serbia. The resulting music is as alluring as it is complex.
Exotic Middle Eastern motifs merge gracefully with the evocative
sounds of Eastern European Klezmer music.
