Instrumental/various genres – ITALY
On Saturday, February 21st, at Belgrade’s „Zappa Baza“, I had the chance to catch a live performance by Italian guitar virtuoso Luca Stricagnoli. He completely won over the crowd with his spontaneous interaction, natural charm, and above all, his extraordinary playing technique. Alone on stage, but surrounded by “multiple” guitars, he experiments with sound, blending his own custom tunings and scales with various effects. At moments, it genuinely felt like we were listening to a full symphony orchestra being performed on acoustic guitar(s).

Reggae/roots/dub/instrumental – SERBIA/AUSTRIA
Aktivnosti Nemanje Kojića, aka Horsman Coyote-ja su poslednjih godina, da ne kažem i par dekada zaista impresivne, kao i njegova saradnja sa brojnim muzičarima iz zemlje i sveta. Njegova internacionalna karijere je zaista impresivna, i činjenica je da ona iz sezone u sezonu samo raste i uvećava se, kao i njegova diskografska priča. Reggae nije samo jedna od formi u kojoj ovaj pevač i multiinstrumentalista, (najčešće na stage-u i u studiju sa svojim trombonom) konstantno prisutan i aktivan, kojoj je veran, hardcore i razni crossoveri su još neke od neizostavnih formi u kojima se njegovo znanje i umeće konstantno potvrđuje.
