TALKING SPIRITS PODCAST #16 – BOJAN Z

A conversation between Armin Alić and Bojan Zulfikarpašić

Hello everyone, 

today it is a huge pleasure and honour for me to welcome the Serbian / Bosnian / French master pianist Bojan Z to a very in-depth, inspiring and interesting conversation about music as a life path, aesthetics and stereotypes in music and arts, Bojan´s very rich body of work, his unique style in music, the state of the world in 2021, and many more highly interesting topics… 

Bojan Zulfikarpašić, widely known as Bojan Z. in the western hemisphere, is one of the most profound innovators in the European Jazz scene for the last couple decades, and if you are into music and arts, this is a conversation you definitely want to listen to…
