MAGNIFICO

Kavboj. Šansonjer. Sinonim za balkan-disko-šlager. Nesporna festivalska izbira na večer pred praznikom!

💘😉🤙

S svojimi prvimi albumi Od srca od srca (1993), Gdo je čefur (1996) in Sexy Boy (1999) se je Magnifico uveljavil kot neortodoksno vsestranski skladatelj in glasbenik na področju bivše Jugoslavije. Je glasbenik, čigar glasba riše svet brez mej, posledično pa ob izvedbah v živo, občinstvo doživi edinstveno izkušnjo.

Magnifica v glasbi navdihuje bivša jugoslovanska šlag scena, začinjena z unikatno mešanico latinskih, reggae, surf in balkan elementov.

Leta 2002 je njegov provokativen pristop dosegel tudi Evropski parlament, ko je kot avtor skladbe Samo ljubezen, ki jo je izvedla skupina Sestre, zmagal na nacionalnem izboru za Pesem Evrovizije. Šlo je za šok brez primere, saj je trio transvestitov s pesmijo razburkal tako domačo, kot tujo javnost.

Leta 2004 je pri Sony Music entertainment izšel Magnificov četrti studijski album Export/Import, vključno s hitom Hir ai kam, Hir ai go in eklektičnim Giv Mi Mani. Raznolik album, s spretno prepletenimi balkanskimi ritmi, je bil odlično sprejet na radijskih postajah in v diskotekah po vsem svetu.

Njegov peti studijski album Magnification je leta 2010 svetovnemu trgu predstavila berlinska založba Piranha Musik. Svoj zadnji studijski album za mednarodni trg, Charlatan de Balkan, je Magnifico izdal septembra 2016.

Magnifico je svoj širok talent pokazal tudi v nekaterih slovenskih celovečernih filmih: Stereotip (1997), Pornofilm (2000), Poker (2001) in Kajmak in marmelada (2003).

V nenehnem iskanju novih ustvarjalnih načinov, preko katerih se lahko samoreflektivno izzove, je sodeloval tudi pri ustvarjanju filmske glasbe za Stereotip, Prepisani (2010), Montevideo, bog te video (2010) in Montevideo, vidimo se (2014). Ob spoštovanju tradicionalnih načinov snemanja filmske glasbe, je v glasbeni podlagi filma Montevideo, bog te video sodeloval z orkestrom Vojske Srbije Stanislavom Biničičem. Za kasnejšo filmsko različico leta 2014 pa še vse skupaj nadgradi sodelovanje s špansko pevko Luz Casal. V preteklem letu je ustvaril še glasbo za srbsko nadaljevanko Sence nad Balkanom, kjer je Magnifico ponovno poskrbel za himno, tokrat s skladbo Divna.

Čeprav je za Magnificom že 30-letna kariera, se njegov tempo ne ustavlja. Decembra leta 2017 je prvič razprodal Areno Stožice, ob koncertu pa izdal album skrbno izbranih 24 pesmi, združenih pod naslovom Komplet II.

Cowboy. Channsonier. A name synonymous with Balkan-disco-schlager music.

“I’m a charlatan. I don’t have a degree, I can’t read music, but I compose movie scores. I figured out that playing music is the highest level of charlatanism and para-science. It’s made for people like me.”

Over a career spanning thirty plus years, the singer-songwriter Magnifico has had a succession of big hits throughout the Balkan region. Building on his impish exuberance and taboo-breaking lyrics, he established himself as the undisputed master of the genre he dubbed Balkan-disco-schlager.

In 2002, he was the mastermind behind the Slovenian Eurovision entry Only Love, putting a trio of transvestites on the pan-European stage long before Conchita Wurst. His breakout moment came in 2004, when Sony Music Entertainment released his fourth studio album Export/import, featuring the smash hits Hir ai kam, Hir ai go and Giv Mi Mani. His fifth studio album Magnification was put out by Piranha Musik, with the album’s first single Zum zum blending a barrage of surf guitars with the sound of the gypsy saxophone wizard Ferus Mustafov.

Yet it was his collaboration with the Serbian Army Orchestra Stanislav Binički that netted him his biggest success to date.
Pukni zoro, the crowning ballad of the 2010 Montevideo, bog the video soundtrack, is the perfect example of a piece of art transcending its author. The song had now all but supplanted the Serbian national anthem at high-level sporting events, and hearing it sung in unison by 50 000 voices at the legendary Belgrade Marakana stadium is an experience one isn’t likely to forget. As Magnifico himself is fond of musing: “My friends, the Gypsies, are slapping me on the back, shouting: Magnifico, well done! This is the most lucrative song in our repertoire by far. Whenever we play it after midnight, the money just comes pouring at us in a flood!”
After having sold out the arena in his hometown Ljubljana in 2017, 2018 brought a new successful collaboration with well-known director Dragan Bjelogrlić. The song Divna, heard in the record-breaking TV series Senke nad Balkanom, became a new anthem in bars around Serbia.

… and there is more to come.
