Kaliopi Bukle

COMPOSER, CANT-AUTHOR, PERFORMER & MOVIE, THEATRE & BALLET MUSIC AUTHOR ************************************************************ ********Kaliopi is the best female vocal in Macedonia & one of the best vocals in whole ex-Yugoslavian region. She started her career when she was just 9 with winning the first prize at the children’s music festival “Zlatno Slavejce” (Golden Nightingale). She participated in the festival “Opatija” as a member of a band “Kaliopi” & she got the prize for best interpretation of the song “Leo”, awarded by the journalists of Ex-Yugoslavia. The band published its debut album in 1986 for RTV Ljubljana (radio and TV broadcast) named as Kaliopi. That year the band participated in the Split Festival and it was awarded with the prize for the best debut performer for the song “Da More Zna” (If Sea Knows), which was also proclamed to be the most listened and played song on the radio stations. The second album of this band “Rogeni” (Born), issued two years later, recorded in Zagreb reached enormous success, especialy with the hit-song “Bato” (Brother) that is being one of the biggest hits in the ex-Yugoslavia even today. Other hit-songs from the band “Kaliopi” are: “Kofer Ljubavi” (Love Case), “Da More Zna” (If Sea Knows), “Ostani u Meni” (Stay With Me), “Nebo Mi Sja” (The Sky Shines For Me), “Bolero Lora”...Many perormances, festivals, show-programs for TV Zagreb, TV Belgrad, TV Saraevo, TV Titovgrad followed after that, as well as a big concert tour throughouth all of Soviet Union. In the time of her biggest popularity, Kaliopi and her former husband and founder of the band, Romeo Gril, moved in Switzerland, what lead to breaking up of the band and 10 years of absence from the music stage, but still they remained present in the electronic media in Macedonia with their recorded audio and video materials.Kaliopi’s grand comeback, but this time as a solo interpreter, was announced with her participation in the Skopje Festival in 1996 when she won the Grandprix of the Festival. In 1999 she definitely came back in Macedonia presenting her new album “Oboi Me” (Color me) recorded in Bazel, Switzerland. This album initiated real euphoria in Macedonia and great feedback with Macedonian audience with record issues sold. In 2000 Kaliopi found her own production company – Kaliopi Music Production, that deals only with projects connected to Kaliopi’s work. At the beggining of 2001 the new solo album was printed out and Kaliopi was a complete author of the music and texts. From 1999 till nowadays Kaliopi has issued four albums, three of them as a complete author and each of them has been awarded as a best album in the past year in Macedonia. Working on her own albums as well as on other interpreters albums (both domestic and foreign) Kaliopi became one of the leading composers and text writers. Beside the pop music, she enjoys working on several other art projects. During 2004 she composed music for two theatrical performances and played the leading female role in the first Macedonian musical “Cija Si” (Whose Woman Are You), and in 2005 she composed the music for the contemporary ballet “Jas, Isidora” (Me, Isidora), which was printed out as a CD compilation.If one rates, according to Kaliopi’s achievements – 4 solo albums, 1 ballet album, noumerous performances and show programs, over 30 concerts around Macedonia, 19 video editions for her biggest hits, 3 ..aries and 3 video records of her biggest concerts, music for theatre & many, many more, and all of this within Macedonian borders, than one can surely say that Kaliopi set standards and imprinted an everlasting seal into the Macedonian music and art in general.During her long-lasting and fruitful career, apart from her specific voice colour and the outstanding interpreting power as well as the completion of many hit songs, Kaliopi shows herself off with her unselfish cooperation with other music names and with her work as a humanitarian, but also with her efforts for making the musical authors rights better and at the same time their protecion in Macedonia. In 2006 she was posted as a Honorary Ambassador of the Macedonian Economy throughout the World & among her countless awards & recognitions is the statue of “Mother Tereza”. The autmn 2006 Kaliopi celebrated 30 years of her presence on the music stage, that was marked with a grand concert in the Univerzalna Sala (Universeal Hall) in Skopje.
