MY LITTLE GLOBAL VILLAGE (SELO MOJE MALO): CONTEMPORARY TAMBURA MUSIC-MAKING IN THE UNITED STATES
Richard March
; Wisconsin Arts Board, Madison, USA
Sažetak
The author discusses the recent technological and political changes that have influenced the tradition of tamburitza music-making in the United States. Citing concrete examples, he discusses the stylistic unification that has resulted through diminished isolation of the North American tamburitza tradition from the music's original homelands in Croatia and Vojvodina and between geographically separated American communities. He mentions improved communications owing to the availability of internet websites, message boards, music available to download or listen to on-line, also of mobile telephones, satellite television and cheaper airline travel. In addition, he discusses the indirect influences on the tamburitza scene in the Croatian- and Serbian-American communities in North America arising from the downfall of Communist governments in Europe, the establishment of an independent Croatian state and the Homeland War. He provides biographical information on and discusses the musical contributions of a few key figures in the contemporary North American tamburitza scene such as Jerry Grcevich, Vjeko Dimter, Joe Kirin and Peter Kosovec.
