So, what am I calling Macedonia now? I'm still going to call it "Macedonia." Greece lost the right to be taken seriously on anything other than food years ago. I am actually kind of into Macedonian music. One of the greatest guitarists around is a Macedonian guy named Vlatko Stefanovski. He played for a while with a jazz-fusion group called Leb i Sol, but fusion is generally not quite my thing. However, he has made some amazing music with Miroslav Tadic, a native of Serbia, who now teaches at Cal Arts. They have put out a few amazing albums together. Krushevo is highly recommended, but really, their live stuff together is just astonishing. Here's a live recording of "Jovano Jovanke." Stefanovski is the one in the baseball cap.
