The Tambura - Stefan Kosanović

Innhold

The tambura, a significant string instrument in the Serbian region of Vojvodina, played a central role in the romantic traditions of the past. Ensambles, called tamburaši, comprised multiple tamburas and accompanying instruments. In a charming tradition, men would gather tamburaši beneath the window of the woman they loved or wanted to propose to. The nuber of serenades a woman recieved reflected her social status. Upbeat tunes, filled the air during succesful courtships, but melancholic notes resonated if the girl rejected the suitor or if her grandmother signaled disapproval by pouring water from the window. Tamburaši were predominantly, if not exclusively, composed of men. While history allowed women to play the tambura, it was typically within organized events. Courting, pub singing, and window serenades were reserved only for men. However, given that there were no phones to capture such moments at the time, the question remains whether any brave women dared to take up the tambura and express her love beneath a man's window.
