Vlatko Stefanovski

Vlatko Stefanovski (b. 1957) is a virtuoso ethno-rock jazz fusion guitar player from the Republic of Macedonia. Born in Prilep, he started playing guitar at the age of thirteen. Stefanovski was one of the founding members of Leb i sol with whom he recorded thirteen albums between 1978 and 1991. He currently divides his time playing with his VS Trio, in an acoustic partnership with Miroslav Tadić (as Vlatko Stefanovski & Miroslav Tadić), and composing for film and theatre. The influence of traditional and folk music of Southeastern Europe, and more specifically of the music of the Republic of Macedonia, are recognisable in his occasional use of time signatures such as 5/4 and 7/8, and non-traditional scales (e.g., the Phrygian dominant scale).
