| &# ;Making this World a Better place to Live&# ; is the mission of the Mountain Lions International.
Sierra Leone West Africa, Wisconsin USA, and Mexico are the homelands of this culturally diverse group of musicians who met in the unlikely place of Whitewater, Wisconsin.
Mountain Lions International&# ;s roots go back to when Dan and Joe as two UW-Whitewater students began assembling lyrics. Jon began jamming with them in the basement in . Chris was sent to sit in with the Lions in Nov temporarily. Juan was added in the summer of . Each of the Mountain Lions contributes their unique skills, talents, temperament, and culture to this musical group.
The MLI first played out at the Friends of Africa Picnic in July at Dretzka Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Another years of writing lyrics and putting them to music brought the Lions to being chosen to perform in an annual &# ;Battle of the Bands&# ; event on the UW-W Campus. The Lions receiving first place for their minute set in that event was the impetus for starting to gig. It was a very exciting time for the MLI and they made sure they could perform for the three plus hours required of solo band performances in Wisconsin taverns. During MLI performed times in eight states in a variety of venues to a diversity of audiences.
MLI&# ;s &# ;Afre-rok&# ; music (a blend of African, Reggae, and Rock) is unique to them and displays the diversity of their musical and cultural backgrounds. Mountain Lions International music also represents their attitude about life; it is about all peoples of the world getting together and solving their differences, about joy and respect for one another. The MLI lives and breathes this concept; it is evident on their faces, how they treat one another and others, and in the lyrics of their original compositions they call &# ;positive vibrations&# ;.
MLI infects their audiences with the message &# ;&# ;we must love one another&# ;. Spend time with the Mountain Lions International and you will be keeping time, smiling, and asking, &# ;When are these guys coming back&# ;? |

| The Los Angeles Times calls Eastern Blok’s music “relentlessly innovative work.” Downbeat Magazine claims that “the ensemble playing is often breakneck and consistently challenging.” Acoustic Guitar Magazine raves that Eastern Blok plays with “blazing virtuosity and sheer beauty.” After performing over shows a year and selling more than , records, the band formerly known as The Goran Ivanovic Group has recorded a new album, changed their name, and has been successfully packing venues throughout the country since the release of their self-titled debut album in . Eastern Blok’s “extraordinary pan-cultural ensemble effortlessly blends classical and jazz music with the rich folkloric traditions of Macedonia, Bulgaria, and Serbia. The resulting music is as alluring as it is complex. Exotic Middle Eastern motifs merge gracefully with the evocative sounds of Eastern European Klezmer music. Beautifully conceived folk passages are followed by perfectly executed Mahavishnu-inspired pyrotechnics. The passion and urgency at which this group plays is heard in every note on this remarkable musical offering.” (Minor th Magazine)
From appearing on NPR to headlining the World Music Festival, Eastern Blok works without borders and it’s reflected in their dynamic music. The band’s “Blacksmith’s Dance” was selected out of thousands of submissions to be one of three finalists in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition. This past year brought them much acclaim due to their performance on Chicago Public Radio’s “Chicago Undercover.” Eastern Blok has even been selected to be featured in the upcoming major motion picture, “Wanted,” starring Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie.
Eastern Blok’s sophomore release, Folk Tales, features compositions that juxtapose a somber and serious sound with a lively and elusive beat. The group features classical guitar virtuoso Goran Ivanovic, who teamed up with Doug Rosenberg on saxophone and flute, Matthew Ulery on bass, and Michael Caskey, a five-time Detroit Music Award and Downbeat Magazine Award winner, on drums. Listen to their mellifluous, intricate new compositions at nblok . |
