Macedonian Folklore

Daniel the Great · 05-19-2010, 08:29 AM

I have decided to post and dedicate this thread to Macedonian Folklore,(Македонскиот фолклор).
Macedonian Folklore is a big part in Macedonian history,culture and identity that has been pasted down from generation to generation, and it must be cherished and celebrated and carried on for the generations to come.

The Macedonian folk dances (Macedonian: Ора) are among the major segments that constitute the Macedonian folklore and tradition. The numerous rhythms and the vigorous steps are the culprits for the impressiveness of the traditional dances. Whether in joy or sorrow, Macedonians have always created dances in which they have brought their emotions. The dances are played on various celebrations: religious or national holidays, festivals as well as on weddings. They are always accompanied with the sound of the traditional instruments such as gaida, zurla, tapan, kaval, daire etc.

Thanks DTG, i realy enjoyed watching it.

I was lucky enough to be involved in a Macedonian Folklore dance group in my younger days. It brought me closer to my Macedonian culture and the appreciation of being a Macedonian. I recomend every Macedonian child to give it a go and join a group. Kept me fit and active, also made many friends with Macedonians.

On another note, watching the first and the third video, i can't help but compare the fast moving dance steps to the Irish. Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance comes to mind.

Macedonian folk dances and songs are perhaps the most valuable cultural and artistic heritage of the Macedonian nation. As an expression of the artistic gifts of their creator – the nature, they have had quite a long life and have survived all challenges time posed, in all historic stages of social development, becoming thus richer and more attractive.

I must say I am partial to the folk songs more than the modern ones, especially Tose version of Zajde Zajde Jasno Sonce at Homebush Sydney with the Aboriginal didgeridoo playing.
They instil pride in me

Macedonian folk instruments can be broadly classified into two main groups: traditional and oriental instruments.

Gajda, kaval, supelka, duduk, zurla, dvojanka, different kinds of tambura,Gajda tapan and daire are generally considered traditional instruments. With slight variations, grneta (clarinet), kemene (violin), oud, laout, canon and tarabuka or daire are typically part of the oriental instrumental ensembles called čalgii.

Interesting that you should note this. It's a little known fact that Riverdance had musical influences from Macedonia and Bulgaria, via the work of Andy Irvine.
