Darko Rundek is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on January 30, 1956 in Zagreb, Croatia. Darko Rundek (born 30 January 1956) is a Croatian rock musician, singer and poet as well as an actor. His musical career began in the 1980s as the lead singer of the world- music influenced rock group Haustor. He moved to France following the Balkan war broke out in 1991. He has made five recordings with different musicians from various parts of the world: Apokalipso U sirokom svijetu, Ruke MHM A-HA Oh A-HA YEAH DA-DA as well as Plavi avion.
in 1982 Rundek earned his certificate in theatre direction at the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb by presenting his graduation show from America Hurray! written by J.C. Van Italie. He later directed several plays (They say that the Owl was once the Baker’s Daughter, Three Slaps Satires of Hekuba, No, Ballads of Petrica Kerempuh …), and was also occasionally an actor. Darko’s primary role in the theater is the one of composer, with over 30 productions under his belt which range from intimate theater for children to touring shows on the international stage.
In 1997 the album Apokalipso (apocalypse+calypso) was recorded with a multitude of instruments and musicians and with strong support from the record company Jabukaton. The album was stylistically very diverse, viewing the post- communist era with irony and poetry. Apokalipso was the music event of 1997 in Croatia. It won 5 Porins (song of the year, hit of the year, best male singer, best video clip, best vocal collaboration), and 4 Black Cats (song of the year for Apokalipso, best rock singer, best rock collaboration, best video clip).
The project initially stemmed from Darko Rundek’s song.It grew out of the need to develop ideas in collaboration with other musicians through improvisation and exchange. Isabel, Đani Pervan, Dušan Vranić and Vedran Peternel started working on Darko Rundek’s new songs; Isabel’s mill in Burgundy in France, with her collection of exotic instruments, provided the working environment. They also incorporate a musical tradition with a potential for accepting diverse influences, firstly Balkan music, Central European music and Mediterranean, then reggae, Latin American, eastern and African music. Isabel (Swiss violinist), Đani Pervan (percussionist), Dušan Vranić (pianist), Vedran Peternel (sound-designer) and Darko, undertook a ten-day improvisation session in Isabel’s converted watermill on the outskirts of a small Burgundian village. When they finally laid down their instruments, they had the basis of the album Ruke (documented by the camera of Biljana Tutorov, whose video projections have become a feature of Cargo Orkestar’s concerts). Trumpetist Igor Pavlica (Darko’s old collaborator from the Haustor and solo periods), Emmanuel Ferraz (trombone player), and the bass player Bruno Arnal, joined Cargo Orkestar for the promotional tour in 2002. In 2004 Ruke was published by Piranha Musik – Berlin, and distributed in 25 countries.
From 1982 to 1991 Darko Rundek directed around 50 radio-plays and documentaries in the drama department at radio Zagreb and also composed the music. A few of them were broadcast by radio Zagreb in various international events: Prix Italia, Premios Ondas, and Prix Futura.
