It's the same time of year - spring. At the same place - the Mossovet Theater (April 6, 7 p.m.). And it'll be with the same 50-plus horde of music accompanists - the Poznan String Orchestra (Poland), united with the Gypsy Brass Orchestra, three Bulgarian woman folk singers and a men's choir from a Russian monastery. So this time around, practically everything will be a repeat.

Exactly one year ago, Goran Bregovic gave two concerts over two days to a full house, in what was the best of the series of Balkan concerts last year. Bregovic has been known here for decades, since he was part of Yugoslavia's most famous rock group in the '80s and then, even more, when he received worldwide recognition for the music he composed for Emir Kusturica's films "Arizona Dream" and "Underground."

The show will develop in a predictable fashion. Ognyan Radivojevic will be there, and his virtuosity will prove to be "absolutely amazing," as people will comment afterwards. He will simultaneously conduct the musicians, pound drums and anything else that happens to be around, play an accordion and sing ethnic melodies in every key.

The crowd, mostly bohemians of varied nationalities, will mostly be sitting in their seats, while a few real enthusiasts will be dancing on the stairs.

And Bregovic will be acting as a composer, sitting off to the side in a white suit. Occasionally, he'll play along to some pieces on his guitar and sing everything from folk to all-out rock. "Kalashnikov" will be played three or four times. "The Death Car" will be sung by Bregovic himself, trying hard to imitate Iggy Pop, whom he wrote the song for.

Really. It'll all be the practically the same. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.
