Zeljko Bilandzic

My music speaks of my dreams and my life : Latin , Flamenco, South East Balkan , Orient, Celtic ... Born 1963 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, I spent most of my life in this city. First lessons in guitar I received from my late teacher Dragan Djedovic and later joined private lessons in studio of the one of the most renown guitar pedagogs and musicians in Sarajevo , late mr Milivoj Praljak . After the Bosnian war 1992-1995 I moved to Canada , to the city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan . Performed publicly solo and accompanied with percussions in several occasions in local venues Mystic Java Caffe and Caffe Vivant, local church concerts , on Saskatoon Fringe Festival etc. I am playing the guitar in a church band of my Roman Catholic Parish of Lady of Guadalupe in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, serving Native peoples.
Influences : Bosnian renowned guitarist IVAN KALCINA, my guitar teacher Maestro MILIVOJ PRALJAK , PACO DE LUCIA, VICENTE AMIGO...
