Play what drives you, it will be the only thing you will be truly good at!
Dušan Popović Lipovac
is a very unique guitarist
from Kovin. Combining sports and arts is not very tipical, however Dušan found the ideal
balance for bringing his two loves together – karate and music. He started his education with the
classical music which is still the foundation from which he observes other musical genres
he is strongly drawn by – Balkan music and flamenco.
Dušan was the only foreign student that got accepted to the master studies of musical investigation
in Murcia, Spain. During his stay, he visited the famous flamenco landmarks, learned about
the life of Roma, Hebrews, Muslims and Christians through history and discovered a connection
between Iberia and Balkans.
His master thesis, named
Interaction and fusion of the Balkan music with flamenco served as
basis for the album called
Reflections from the Mediterranean which he started performing
with the group
SPONA - DUŠAN POPOVIĆ LIPOVAC. Thanks to his wide
experience and knowledge, his compositions represent something you could say is an
extraordinary mixure between the sound that his two biggest role models – Miroslav
Tadic and Vicente Amigo – represent.
The beautiful
Balkanska Taranta is a perfect example to it.
