Magnifico na turneji
Že drugo leto zapored se je Magnifico potepal po Evropskih festivalih, kjer je osvajal množice s svojo prepoznavno glasbo. Poleg Francije, Italije, Španije, BiH, Avstrije in Nemčije, je nastopil na enem največjih svetovnih glasbenih festivalov Roskilde na Danskem. Znašel se je v družbi imen, kot so Nick Cave, Coldplay, Faith No More, Oasis, Pet Shop Boys, Kanye West ter legendarne Grace Jones.
Vendar pa zapriseženemu Šiškarju še zdaleč ni zmanjkalo kreativne energije, in tako se v zasedbi Magnifico Balcountry Quartet, ki je akustična različica njegovih največjih hitov, odpravlja na turnejo po Sloveniji. V naslednjih dveh mesecih se bo mudil po naših večjih krajih.
Razpored koncertov
Balcountry Quartet poleg Magnifica sestavljajo mojstri Robert Pikl na kitari, Anže Langus Dagi na kontrabasu in Schatz! na bobnih. Akustična izvedba je nekakšen koktajl jazza, countryja, začinjenega s ščepcem balkanskih ritmov.
Zopet lahko pričakujemo pravo pašo za ušesa, ekipa pa že napoveduje gostovanja v prijetnem, sproščenem ter intimnem ozračju po vsej deželi, ki jih bo Magnifico nadgradil z branjem svoje poezije in svojevrstnim humorjem.
Karte so v predprodaji od 15. septembra, na prodajnih mestih Eventima po vsej Sloveniji.

MAGNIFICO with guests in Križanke
Sexy boy, adventurer, wicked voyeur, maniac, chav, poof, hopeless bluffer ... Following this year's performances in Spain, Moscow and Monaco, he will entertain his most loyal home supporters in Križanke before reaching the summer high at the infamous Danish Roskilde Festival. Brace yourselves for a striking concert with numerous guests and surprises: he will incite us intimately with the help of the Balcountry quartet, announce the reactivation of the Sisters who will perform two songs, he will take us to ecstasy with the help of Turbolentza and trumpet players. And the most striking part of the programme, naturally, is never announced beforehand. Anyway, rumour has it that the stage for him will be set by DJ Borka in DJ Bakto (Code.Ep). With Robert on top of it, this should be reason enough to visit Križanke.

MAGNIFICO BALCOUNTRY QUARTET - SREČNO
Robert Pešut - Magnifico - vocals and guitar
Aleksander Pešut - Schatz! - drums
Robert Pikl - guitar
Anže Langus Petrović - Dagi - bass and double bass
The transition from ideas to reality was pretty quick. It took a record time for Robert Pikl on guitar, Anže Langus Petrović - Dagi on double bass, Aleksander Pešut - Schatz! on drums and percussion and of course Robert Pešut - Magnifico on guitar and vocals to perform 10 tracks and record them in RTV Slovenija, Studio 14. The popular folk adaptation of the hit "Gospod, težko sem ponižen" (Lord, I Find it Difficult to Be Humble) was made with the support of guys from Gregorji ensemble, to whom we can only say: respect.
The team then locked themselves up into Dom Svobode studio, where they recorded all the vocals and support vocals under the management of the producer Shatz! and his always welcome support Jani Mujić. It all ends here nice and fine, to be followed by polishing up, mixing and listening, and here we have a fresh product for music connoisseurs.
In terms of style, the first album of Magnifico Balcountry Quartet titled "Srečno" (Good Luck) offers a mixture of jazz and country, seasoned with Balkan rhythms. The album features 10 covers of hits like "Hir ai kam, hir ai go", "In ko enkrat bom umrl", "Modern" and many others.
To provide the album with a special look, experts from ARIH d.o.o. team packed the CD into a box made of recycled waste wood, thus producing additional value to ensure we really want to have the CD in its original form.
The album will be presented at a promotion at Cvetličarna Mediapark, Ljubljana on 3rd December, which is two days after the release but also the birthday of the artist and the Kingdom of SHS.

Magnifico performed at "MI PLEŠEMO" festival in Dortmund
Having been invited specially by the FUNKHAUS EUROPE radio editor, last Friday, 14th of November and Saturday, 15th of November, Magnifico performed at their etno-balkan-roots festival in Dortmund. As the band was at the time preoccupied with final corrections for the album, the performance was first rejected, but due to further persuasion by the French editor we decided to visit the festival in a very limited set-up – Magnifico in an acoustic duet with Robert Pikl.
We were greeted as great stars. From the very beginning to the end it was all carefully taken care of. The organisers were very happy to be hosting Magnifico, the first day performing with the Orkestar Bobana i Marka Markovića and the second day with Croatian representative of British rock, the band Kopito, and the Austrian Balkanbeat attraction La Čerga.
Just before the performance Magnifico played Hir ai kam Hir ai go live on the radio and cracked some jokes in a mixture of Serbo-Croat and German.
The stage fright to perform after the two-hour trumpet techno rush was gone in the second when Magnifico first strummed the strings. The sold-out venue went mad and after the short performance kept demanding an encore, until Bosangero Nero was greeted with bluster.
The second day continued with some interviews for German radio stations and another great performance, this time in front of a predominantly German audience, and also available in Slovenia for online listening ...
More about the festival is available in several languages at < href="http://www.funkhauseuropa.de" target="_blank">www.funkhauseuropa.de.

Magnifico at Womex
The world music festival Womex has gone by, taking place in Seville, Spain between 29/10 and 02/11. The festival attracted a record number of visitors, meaning more than 3000 delegates, numerous musicians and lecturers.
Magnifico, the music authority, and his support band Turbolentza have enthralled international delegates from the world of music. They arrived to Seville already on Wednesday 29th October and right away, the next day was full of interviews for media companies from around the world.
On Friday 31st October Magnifico and Turbolentza were the headliner of the evening (and of the festival!). They rocked the Spanish stage and animated the picky international public composed of music critics, managers, journalists, publishers and bookers.
The Saturday morning schedule included a press conference, which was visited by many foreign journalists and other music aficionados, as Magnifico and Turbolentza were met with widespread enthusiasm. At the conference Magnifico was named the music discovery of the year. The title was granted by the world famous American music television Link.
With his charm and perfect performance Magnifico has proven once more that he belongs to the very top of the music scene. Surely the future holds many similar performances abroad.

Magnifico Balcountry Quartet
This summer Magnifico was touring European stages all the way from Sarajevo to Genoa, captivating music aficionados. In no way has he forgotten about Slovenian fans who were able to listen to him across the country.
Yet it seems the artist has not run out of challenges as he recently took up a new one. At the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Mr Jure Robežnik, Magnifico was invited by Val 202 to participate in the celebration of the honourable jubilee, which resulted in his cover of the legendary "Ti si moja ljubezen" with the help of his Magnifico Balcountry Quartet.
The song is a heartfelt dedication to the master of Slovenian pop songs, at the same time announcing the forthcoming album, which will be enhanced with Magnifico's unique covers of old and new hits. In this project he has been supported by a number of experienced old stagers in music, such as Robert Pikl, Anže Langus and Aleksander Pešut – Schatz!, whose names as such are a mark of quality.
It will be a cocktail of jazz, country and a touch of Balkan rhythms. Again we can expect a real balm for ears, with the team already announcing tours across the country featuring a pleasant, relaxing and intimate atmosphere to be elevated by Magnifico with his unique humour.
Ti si moja ljubezen

Over the years, the festival has expanded and moved from city areas formerly occupied by heavy industry towards the city centre and the sea.

The line-up in 2008 include Shaggy, Manu Chao, Sud Sound System and Peter Hook from New Order and Magnifico.

This December, the Slovenian release was followed by releases in former Yugoslav republics. The album has been released by Hayat Production record label in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and by City Records record label for the Serbian market.

MAGNIFICO BALCOUNTRY QUARTET - SREČNO
Robert Pešut - Magnifico - vocals and guitar
Aleksander Pešut - Schatz! - drums
Robert Pikl - guitar
Anže Langus Petrović - Dagi - bass and double bass
The transition from ideas to reality was pretty quick. It took a record time for Robert Pikl on guitar, Anže Langus Petrović - Dagi on double bass, Aleksander Pešut - Schatz! on drums and percussion and of course Robert Pešut - Magnifico on guitar and vocals to perform 10 tracks and record them in RTV Slovenija, Studio 14. The popular folk adaptation of the hit "Gospod, težko sem ponižen" (Lord, I Find it Difficult to Be Humble) was made with the support of guys from Gregorji ensemble, to whom we can only say: respect.
The team then locked themselves up into Dom Svobode studio, where they recorded all the vocals and support vocals under the management of the producer Shatz! and his always welcome support Jani Mujić. It all ends here nice and fine, to be followed by polishing up, mixing and listening, and here we have a fresh product for music connoisseurs.
In terms of style, the first album of Magnifico Balcountry Quartet titled "Srečno" (Good Luck) offers a mixture of jazz and country, seasoned with Balkan rhythms. The album features 10 covers of hits like "Hir ai kam, hir ai go", "In ko enkrat bom umrl", "Modern" and many others.
To provide the album with a special look, experts from ARIH d.o.o. team packed the CD into a box made of recycled waste wood, thus producing additional value to ensure we really want to have the CD in its original form.
The album will be presented at a promotion at Cvetličarna Mediapark, Ljubljana on 3rd December, which is two days after the release but also the birthday of the artist and the Kingdom of SHS.

Magnifico performed at "MI PLEŠEMO" festival in Dortmund
Having been invited specially by the FUNKHAUS EUROPE radio editor, last Friday, 14th of November and Saturday, 15th of November, Magnifico performed at their etno-balkan-roots festival in Dortmund. As the band was at the time preoccupied with final corrections for the album, the performance was first rejected, but due to further persuasion by the French editor we decided to visit the festival in a very limited set-up – Magnifico in an acoustic duet with Robert Pikl.
We were greeted as great stars. From the very beginning to the end it was all carefully taken care of. The organisers were very happy to be hosting Magnifico, the first day performing with the Orkestar Bobana i Marka Markovića and the second day with Croatian representative of British rock, the band Kopito, and the Austrian Balkanbeat attraction La Čerga.
Just before the performance Magnifico played Hir ai kam Hir ai go live on the radio and cracked some jokes in a mixture of Serbo-Croat and German.
The stage fright to perform after the two-hour trumpet techno rush was gone in the second when Magnifico first strummed the strings. The sold-out venue went mad and after the short performance kept demanding an encore, until Bosangero Nero was greeted with bluster.
The second day continued with some interviews for German radio stations and another great performance, this time in front of a predominantly German audience, and also available in Slovenia for online listening ...
More about the festival is available in several languages at < href="http://www.funkhauseuropa.de" target="_blank">www.funkhauseuropa.de.

Magnifico at Womex
The world music festival Womex has gone by, taking place in Seville, Spain between 29/10 and 02/11. The festival attracted a record number of visitors, meaning more than 3000 delegates, numerous musicians and lecturers.
Magnifico, the music authority, and his support band Turbolentza have enthralled international delegates from the world of music. They arrived to Seville already on Wednesday 29th October and right away, the next day was full of interviews for media companies from around the world.
On Friday 31st October Magnifico and Turbolentza were the headliner of the evening (and of the festival!). They rocked the Spanish stage and animated the picky international public composed of music critics, managers, journalists, publishers and bookers.
The Saturday morning schedule included a press conference, which was visited by many foreign journalists and other music aficionados, as Magnifico and Turbolentza were met with widespread enthusiasm. At the conference Magnifico was named the music discovery of the year. The title was granted by the world famous American music television Link.
With his charm and perfect performance Magnifico has proven once more that he belongs to the very top of the music scene. Surely the future holds many similar performances abroad.

Magnifico Balcountry Quartet
This summer Magnifico was touring European stages all the way from Sarajevo to Genoa, captivating music aficionados. In no way has he forgotten about Slovenian fans who were able to listen to him across the country.
Yet it seems the artist has not run out of challenges as he recently took up a new one. At the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Mr Jure Robežnik, Magnifico was invited by Val 202 to participate in the celebration of the honourable jubilee, which resulted in his cover of the legendary "Ti si moja ljubezen" with the help of his Magnifico Balcountry Quartet.
The song is a heartfelt dedication to the master of Slovenian pop songs, at the same time announcing the forthcoming album, which will be enhanced with Magnifico's unique covers of old and new hits. In this project he has been supported by a number of experienced old stagers in music, such as Robert Pikl, Anže Langus and Aleksander Pešut – Schatz!, whose names as such are a mark of quality.
It will be a cocktail of jazz, country and a touch of Balkan rhythms. Again we can expect a real balm for ears, with the team already announcing tours across the country featuring a pleasant, relaxing and intimate atmosphere to be elevated by Magnifico with his unique humour.
Ti si moja ljubezen

Magnifico Conquers the World
This hot summer Robert Pešut Magnifico has been anything but having a rest, with his constant preparations for the hardworking summer featuring a tour of hot concert nights. His summer will mostly be remembered by many performances both at home and abroad.
Magnifico is the first Slovenian performer to have been invited to the renowned Italian "Goa Boa" festival, having taken place in Genoa for the tenth time in a row. At the festival Magnifico shared the evening with the world famous singer Manu Chao. In autumn the whole team is headed to Seville, Spain, to "Womex", the greatest music festival in the world, which is undoubtedly a great recognition to any performer being invited.

Magnifico performing in Genova
The Goa Boa festival returns to Genoa's Porto Antico, featuring concerts by top international artists. Over the years, the festival has expanded and moved from city areas formerly occupied by heavy industry towards the city centre and the sea. Festival will take place in Porto Antico from 12th – 27th of July.
The title reflects this: GOA is the name used to indicate the city airport, BOA means "buoy", a maritime metaphor to signify that Genoa wants to be an important reference point for the international music circuit, offering a significant overview on the contemporary scene.
The line-up in 2008 include Shaggy, Manu Chao, Sud Sound System and Peter Hook from New Order and Magnifico.
Don't miss out on 26th July at 9pm, when Magnifico with his band Turbolentza is scheduled to perform at the festival in Genoa. Anybody who has attended his concert knows how Magnifico never fails to surprise and impress, never leaves anybody cold!
