Kiril Dzajkovski
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kiril Dzajkovski (Macedonian: Кирил Џајковски) is a Macedonian musician.
He formed in the early 1980s together with Milčo Mančevski Bastion, one of the first electronic bands in the then Socialist Republic of Macedonia within Yugoslavia. He then went on to play with one of the most famous Macedonian bands Leb i sol, recording two albums and touring extensively around the Balkans and Europe.
In the 1990s, Kiril moved to Australia and began experimenting by combining ethnic Macedonian music and electronic beats. This led to his first solo release, Synthetic Theatre, an EP received extremely well by Australian independent radio stations.
In 2000, American label Tone Casualties released his album Homebound, which continued the concept of blending Macedonian ethnic instrumentation and electronica. It received excellent reviews around the world, including the United States, Canada, UK, Spain and Japan. Croatian Playboy Magazine voted it the best album of the year from the former Yugoslavia.
