About Darko Rundek
Darko Rundek (born January 30, 1956) is a Croatian singer, poet, and actor. His music career started in the beginning of the 1980's, when he was the frontman of the world music influenced rock band called Haustor. Living in France since 1991, he recorded three albums with various musicians, from different parts of the world: U sirokom svijetu, Apokalipso and Ruke. The latter being a concept album about a group of musicians traveling on a cargo ship. Sided by the suigeneris group Cargo Orkestar, Darko Rundek recorded the cabaret enthusiastic album Ruke, in 2002 (but released in September of 2004). The slowly and vintage kind of music that tells the story of the ship traveling musicians gives the album a climatic and sweet cabaret style, intensified by the probably deliberated lo-fi production of Vedran Peternel. Some lyrics, mainly penned by Rundek after the rich instrumental compositions of the Cargo Orkestar members, are spoken in English, but also in Croatian, Spanish, French, and in a language supposedly created by Rundek himself.
