Abstract
Third gender in this article refers to the alleged homosexual Gypsy musicians, seen as mediators between female and male musical and cultural domains in Kosovo. Due to their alleged homosexuality, these musicians, unlike other men , had access to the female repertoire and manner of performance, out of which they created a new genre known as talava. They transfered the female music sung indoors by women to the frame drum accompaniment to the public scene, where it is performed in a modified form by a male singer to the accompaniment of an amplified ensemble. The talava, performed by men , is most appreciated by women, who see it as the success of "their" music within the public domain.
