"Bošnjaci"


                                                                         
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/

  1. Do love the music that you upload - so seldom do I hear this music on the radio (or TV) in the UK.

    It 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,

  2. PS. thank you for the links to all those beautiful photographs of the various folk events.

    I 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,
