Leonard Cohen (Canada) - pop-rock concert

Leonard Cohen, a poet with a dark, velvety voice, is one of the most fascinating and original music artists of our time. He celebrated his 76th birthday earlier this year, but his concerts are still considered to be unforgettable experiences.

Before venturing into the world of music in the 1960s, Leonard Cohen was already renowned as a poet and novelist. His songs deal with the themes of love, hatred, jealousy, faith, the loss of youthful idealism, religious wisdom, and the wisdom of life. His greatest hits include Hallelujah, So Long Marianne, Bird on a Wire, Famous Blue Raincoat, and Dance Me to the End of Love.

Even though he began his musical career relatively late, after the age of 30, Leonard Cohen influenced many music artists and lyrics writers. Several times in his career he disappeared from the musical scene only to pop up again a few years later with an excellent new album. All the eleven albums he recorded over his career are considered to be masterpieces.

Leonard Cohen has recently been inducted into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame. For the last few years he has been on a farewell tour, part of which will be his Ljubljana concert.
