»Hotel Europe« is title of the midnight concert, a unique event, project of charismatic artist Sasa Losic, in the 80's frontman of pop group Plavi Orkestar, in recent years one of the finest film music composers in this region (Outsider, Cheese and Jam, Fuse, Days and Hours). Concert consisted partly of Losic' s compositions for film and theater and partly of evergreens of this region from the 1950's s to the 1980's. Nostalgic in its most affirmative sense, without any ideological substance. | |

This combined- stylistically totally diverse, orchestra, creates a globally new, yet so typically Sarajevo sound, i.e., the music form that is logical just like the decorative secessionist architectural style of the old hotel "Evropa" merges so logically and harmoniously with the nearby Oriental buildings (bazaars, hans and small shops and restaurants) of Old Sarajevo- its world famous Bascarsija..." |
