Boris Bukowski, a well -known name in the Austrian music scene, presented his new program "private" in Gleisdorf last weekend. With just one musician at his side, the talented Jaxx Bahaudeen, he performed in the monastery forum. The now 78-year-old proved that his songs can convince in a reduced form. The performance was a festival for the fans, especially when Bukowski conquered the stage with the first title "The Fritze with the syringe".

The guests were not only spoiled with music, but also with stories made of Bukowski's moving career. The artist, whose place of birth in Wikipedia is given as the Fürstenfeld, clarified the misunderstanding humorously and said: "In my documents, Gleisdorf is entered as a place of birth." This mix of personal anecdotes and musical performances made the evening something special.

a pioneer of the Austropop

Bukowski’s musical roots go back to the 1970s when he revolutionized the Austrian music landscape with his band Magic 69. At a time when bands like STS and the first general uncertainty (EAV) became popular, Bukowski made a decisive contribution to the development of the Austropop. At the beginning of his career he played drums before switching to the role of the singer and quickly gaining popularity.

After the separation from Magic, he found that he was also very well received as a solo artist. Hits like "Wear my love like a coat" and "100 hours a day" became classics. In Gleisdorf, too, the fans were not allowed to miss these well -known songs. Ultimately, Bukowski added his set with songs from his last album "Is there a life before death?", Which was praised by critics and ties in with his success in recent decades.

his tireless commitment to music shows that he is still passionate about the matter. In 2022, Amadeus Austrian Music Award for his life's work was awarded to him, recognition of his important contributions to Austrian music.

Overall, the evening in Gleisdorf offered an insight into the life story of a master of the Austropop, who also knows how to inspire and touch its audience at the age of 78.
