Thanks to Daniel Rosenberg - It was a joy and an honor to play the first part of Cafe International Radio’s documentary on Goran Bregović. This episode takes a look back at the war-torn Balkans in the 90’s and a musician’s refusal to turn to cynicism.

Dan interviews Marija Vitas from Radio Belgrade, composer Goran Bregovic, and professor Dalibor Misina, the author of Shake Rattle & Roll: Yugoslav Music and the Poetics of Social Critique.

You can listen to this outstanding radio piece on the second hour of today's show through the WORT archives: https://archive.wortfm.org or through Dan's archive:

Regular Global Revolutions listeners may often hear your hosts talk about the wonderous Cimbalom, the central European concert hammered dulcimer. One of the foremost masters of the instrument is Kalman Balogh from Hungary. Balogh is celebrating his birthday today and is also recognized as the European Folk Network's artist of the month. Here is a clip from a live performance.

'Without Joe Hill, there's no Woody Guthrie, no Dylan, no Springsteen, no Clash, no Public Enemy, no Minor Threat, no System of a Down, no Rage Against the Machine'. Tom Morello, Rage Against the Machine.

On 19th November 1915, poet and musician Joe Hill was executed by a firing squad in Utah, United States. Joe Hill was a Wobblie, a member of the IWW, Industrial Workers of the World, created in Chicago in 1905 by sectors too marginal and radical to be content with reformism of the official American union, which represented white, male, skilled workers. He left this message: 'Don't mourn, organise'.
