Branko Galoic is a Croatian singer-songwriter from Zagreb who, in the aftermath of the conflict in former Yugoslavia, relocated to Amsterdam. 'Skakavac' ("grasshopper") is strongly influenced by the traditional music from the Balkans, but Galoic's guitar playing draws from Spanish Gitano culture. Unfortunately 'Skakavac' doesn't succeed in transcending mediocrity long enough to make it linger. For real Balkan freaks!
