This year Demiran is also bringing his son Novica who at 21 is almost as good. Below is the write up from last year, and here is a link Ian found: http://wn.com/demiran_cerimovic

Demiran Cerimovic, Trumpet Master and 3-time winner of Guca festival, is coming to Vancouver April 27-May7. He wil be performing with Orkestar Slivovica and others for the annual Ederlezi festival May 4-6, as well as giving us carnies a work shop on April 29th at our regular Monday night rehearsal.

Demiran is an ethnic Roma and comes from a long tradition of playing music in a distinct style that many non-Roma musicians all over the world strive to follow. He has extensive experience teaching members of Balkan Brass bands from the USA, such as Slavic Soul Party, Zlatne Uste, and our guest stars at last year’s Ederlezi, Brass Menazeri. Note that what he follows is an aural tradition, so he won’t be writing you any charts or anything, this style of playing cannot be effectively written, it’s all about trusting one’s ear and feeling it. He does not speak much English but we will have an interpreters available.
