MUSIC - Muzika

Kolo is a collective folk dance named after a circle formed by the dancers. The dancers hold each other’s hands. It is performed most often with an accordion, but also with other instruments, for example frula. There are different kinds of kolo. The most popular is Užičko kolo. Many variations of Kolo are normally performed at weddings, social, cultural and religious ceremonies. Kolo may be performed in a closed circle, a single chain or in two parallel lines. Both men and women dance together, however some dances require only men to dance and some dances are only for women. The music is generally fast paced and contains tricky steps.

Kolo je kolektivna muzička igra koja je dobila ime po krugu koji formiraju igrači. Igrači se drže za ruke. Izvodi se najčešće uz pratnju harmonike ili nekog drugog instrumenta kao što je frula. Postoje različite vrste kola, a jedno od najpopularnijih je Užičko kolo. Kolo se igra na svadbama, društvenim, kulturnim I verskim događanjima. Kolo se može igrati u zatvorenom krugu, u jednom ili dva paralelna reda. Muškarci I žene igraju zajedno, međutim neke igre igraju samo muškarci ili samo žene. Muzika je uglavnom brza, a koraci mogu biti komplikovani.

A cat and a mouse game. Children sit forming a circle. One of them walks around the circle holding ‘a tail’- the cat, and after singing the song, throws the tail on the one of the children sitting in the circle – the mouse. Then the cat and the mouse chase each other for 1 full circle.
