Croatian Ethnic and Folk music reflects very much history and
places from where a particular music comes from. From melodic
and harmonic capella songs from Dalmatia, Istrian diatonic scale
songs, to Lika, Zagorje, Slavonia and other places. I uploaded few
songs that pretty much represent the region of origin. Enjoy it and
have fun..

| Carneval in Rijeka Opatija, Lovran, Rabac, Buje, Mali Losinj The first Rijeka Carnival was held in 1982. It had only three performer groups in its parade and it was neither famous nor popular. The groups were "Lako ćemo", "Pehinarski feštari" and "Halubajski zvončari". All three groups have participated in the carnival each time since the beginning. The largest event happened in 2001 with 144 groups participating. Because of the restrictions that have been made regarding the number of participants in each group, the 2008 carnival had only 99 groups. Nonetheless, 100,000 visitors attended it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rijeka_Carnival |
Moreska Folk Dance - Island of Korcula
The town of Korcula is well known for MORESKA – a
traditional sword dance and drama that was common
through the Mediterranean in 12th and 13th century,
reaching Korcula in 16th century from Italy and
Dubrovnik. The dance originated in Spain and is
associated to the conflict between Moors and
Christians. In Dalmatia its popularity was almost
certainly linked with the struggles against Ottoman
Empire, above all with the victory over a Battle of
Lepanto, the first major Ottoman defeat by the Christian
powers, which ended the myth of Ottoman naval
invincibility. Through the centuries Moreska vanished
from the Mediterranean and now days is only to be find
in Korcula, where it is performed for over 400 yrs.
Briefly, the dance follows the story of the conflict
between the Red King (locally called "White") versus
Black King and their soldiers, as Bula - the Red King's
fiancée is captured by Black army. Following the
dialogues between Kings, the romantic and ritualized
sword battle starts, and is performed in seven circles
representing seven different dances with swords.
Finally Black King is conquered and Bula happily returns
into arms of her bellowed Red King.
