Today we set out on our big musical autumn cyber travel
through Serbia. A place full of contradictions, which reflects in the music. We
will explore and discover a highly enthusing dance music back to back with
deeply emotional songs. Relaxing music, however, you won't find much in Serbia,
at least I didn't, it all grips you, moves you, touches you....
Our online adventures will be mixed with past memories of my
real physical travels there...
We will start in the capital city Belgrade, a beautiful
city on the Danube. Its name translates to ‘White town’. Let me show you some
of the interesting and romantic scenery starting at the Kale, the castle,
through the centre, passing by the big Orthodox Cathedral, and finally arriving
at the banks of the Danube. Lets go on a little sight seeing trip, and a memory
tour from my travels in 2006.
Whilst watching the pix, do listen to this lovely track from
the Serbian Romani band Odjila:
Time to find a good place to eat to replenish your energies.
The Skadarska Ulica is the best place to eat yummy food whilst being showered
with local music performer by Serbian Romani bands. Here you'll find out about
the history and details of the area, and with the beautiful accompanying
images, you can witness the beauty of it also: https://www.011info.com/en/it-happened-once-in-belgrade/belgrades-skadarlija-from-a-bohemian-quarter-to-an-ethnic-style-attraction
Here some music to accompany the images: Sekstet Skadarlija is a group who perform there regularly:
I myself also had a cracking time in the Skadarska Ulica in 2006, here a few pix of the cute interiors of some places:
Serbian people can definitely party, and nightlife here in Skadarlija is exciting:
