In the Balkans, the trumpet is one of the key instruments (perhaps second only to the violin), a call to rally and dance, and Boban Markovic is one of the most popular players in the region. Boban Markovic is a Serbian trumpet player and brass ensemble leader from Vladicin Han in Southern Serbia, frequently recognized as the greatest trumpet player to emerge from the Balkans. He and his brass band have received world acclaim and won numerous awards.
The Boban Markovic Orchestra has been the leading Balkan Brass Band in Serbia over the last 17 years. They have won several of the most important prizes for their music ("Golden Trumpet", "First Trumpet" and "The Best Orchestra") at the "Brass bands meeting and competition" in Guca, the Guca trumpet festival, called "Dragacevski Sabor", which has been held every August in Central Serbia, since 1961. Every year "Sabor" gathers 20 of the best bands from all parts of Serbia, as well as some 300,000 people in the audience. Winning there means more jobs for the bands, but also is so prestigious, that no one misses the festival and all the bands play for free.
Boban Markovic Orkestar won the "Best Orchestra" prize at 40th "Sabor" in Guca, August 2000. They won the "Best concert 2000" prize for their concert with Lajko Felix. In Guca, at Dragacevski Sabor Boban Markovic won The First Trumpet, what is officially the best prize there and the most wanted among the musicians. It was the first time ever that any musician there got all five marks from all of the jury members. Since winning, he has decided to stop competing and attend the Guca Brass Festival as the honor guest, being the trumpet ambassador of the World.
