tapan

Tapan is a Belgrade-based production duo formed by one of the protégés of club 20/44 Nebojša Bogdanović and Goran Simonoski, a producer who has been behind the music projects Belgradeyard Sound Sistem, Piece of Shh, and is also the author of theater music for several plays in Serbia and Great Britain. Both have been present on the Belgrade and international music scene since the 1990s, and in 2015 they combined their diverse musical experiences in a collaborative creative act they called TAPAN.

Tapan is not your ordinary “electronic” project, and skillfully avoids simple categorization. This studio music project has evolved into a full quartet, building bridges between electronic sound, jazz improvisation, and the unique pulse of Eastern percussive orientalism.In addition to Bogdanović and Simonoski, the group also includes saxophonist Džemal Al Kisvani and renowned Serbian percussionist Feđa Franklin, but the scope of collaboration with other local and foreign instrumentalists is constantly expanding.
