JEFFERSON PARK — If you've seen the movie "Borat," you've heard Goran Bregovic's head-banging brand of Eastern European klezmer rock.

A guitarist and former frontman of the group "White Button," which sold millions of albums throughout the Balkan region in the '70s and '80s, Bregovic will bring his Wedding and Funeral Orchestra to the Copernicus Center, 5216 W. Lawrence Ave., on Sunday for a show the theater describes as a "kaleidoscope of action, color and intoxicating beats."

The orchestra's nine members include vocalists, conservatory-trained string players and "Gypsy brass players," all colliding in a dizzying mishmash the event page calls "sublime madness."

The concert kicks off at 6 p.m. Sunday, and doors open at 5 p.m.

Tickets can be bought online and range from $39 to $99.
