Vladimir Četkar band (MAK/USA)

Brought up in Macedonia, multi-talented guitarist, composer and arranger Vladimir Cetkar traveled to the United States to study at The Berklee College of Music in Boston, eventually making his way to NYC and continuing to pursue his music career. An active live performer at various international festivals, as well as venues, Cetkar has shared the stage with music greats such as Maceo Parker, Mike Stem, Matt Bianco, Jestofunk…

Critics recognize Vladimir Cetkar’s unique sound and passion, and have drawn many flattering comparisons: George Benson’s guitar playing; Quincy Jones’ and Mauro Malavasi’s arrangement and production acumen; Earth Wind and Fire’s vocals; and Jamiroquai‘s grooves. Cetkar’s acclaimed album We Will Never End (2008) is packed with lyrical melodies, sweeping strings and tight horn arrangements - all written by Vladimir himself. Vladimir Cetkar’s latest release can be described as his original music cocktail, incorporating a pristine distillate of the Jazz, Soul, Funk and Disco sounds of the late 70’s and early 80‘s, along with a hint of what’s to come.
