ENCULTURATION OF THE TRADITIONAL HERITAGE OF SYRMIA DISSEMINATED BY PLUCKING INSTRUMENTS

Sažetak

Traditional music is associated with certain geographical areas and the culture of the region, which in these areas resists globalization processes and manages to survive thanks to enthusiasts, the will of caregivers, and today more and more the work of educational institutions. This paper interprets the role of traditional percussion instruments from historical discourse as part of the enculturation and socialization factor of the young people of Syrmia. The paper points out the purpose of tamburitza music in Syrmia and the opportunities that traditional musical instruments provide to young generations. The historical analysis of the content of the literature and the interview of the transmitters of the traditional heritage of Šokac indicate the attitude towards the picking instruments in their traditional heritage and customs. Attention is paid to the dominant disseminators of musical heritage culture and its folk protectors who by popularizing certain forms of folk tradition, transmit tamburitza music in the area of Syrmia. Tamburitza music pedagogues Pajo Kolarić and Pere Tumbas Hajo, who raised the tamburitza to the artistic level of music, have also been briefly presented. No less merit should be attributed to the lesser-known village tamburitza players who worked in the villages of Syrmia, entertaining the people and thus acting to preserve the heritage of their region.
