Bosniaks (Croatian: “Bošnjaci”, singular “Bošnjak”
; Hungarian: “Bosnyákok” ) in
Hungarian literature also “Baranyai bosnyákok”) are a Croat population, living in various settlements in the
historic region in county Baranja
(Baranya) in its Hungarian
part. “Bošnjak” Croats should not be confused with Bosnian Muslims that mostly
live in Bosnia and Herzegovina also called “Bosniaks”.
They live
in Baranya, in the city of Pécs, also
in the villages Kökény, Szemely,Pécsudvard, Szalánta (they came there
in the 18th century; today they make 32% of the village population), Pécsudvard, Németi,
Pogány, et cetera. Until recently,
Bosniak Catholics were the significant community in Áta and Szőkéd, but
those Croats have significantly hungarized.
Bosniaks
are remarkable of their highly ornamented folk costumes. You can arrive a very
abundant selection of their fine traditions, songs, music and dances when you
visit the website of folklore ensemble KUD
Tanac. Highly recommended! http://www.tanac.hu/j365/index.php/en/

Do love the music that you upload - so seldom do I hear this music on the radio (or TV) in the UK.
ReplyDeleteIt was a little more popular a few year's ago Trio Bulgarka and Matyas Sebastyen.
Why is it less popular now?
A distinctive sound, which is haunting and exciting.
Would love to see it live in Eastern Europe - visited many times, but never got to see LIVE folk music.
A beautiful area - must come back again soon.
Keep up your excellent work.
Cheers,

PS. thank you for the links to all those beautiful photographs of the various folk events.
ReplyDeleteI remember going to Pecs, on the bus (and bike), one day about 20 year's ago from Keszthely (on Lake Balaton) - would like to do that again.
Where do you live?
Cheers,

Pécs is my beloved birthplace.
