It is in south Pannonia, town by name Osijek.
But these are the motives here now, so I have no big choice.
There are two definitions of traditional culture. One definition says that traditional culture is culture that precedes modernism and industrial revolution, which ocure at the end of the XVIII. century. Other definition says that it is something which is immanent to the some population.
This kind of music (and not just a music, but other elements of complex) is not a indigenous part of my country, and even not to Gypsies. Gypsies in different part of the world take the music and other cultural elements (even the religion) not only from the areas in which they live, but also from their time. There are many reasons why I could not consider this music nor their, nor traditional. It is more a kind of subcultural music.
Balkan brass bands originate in XIX. century. in Serbia, and it has much to do with military music. In fact, it was Turkish military custom to have loud music.
This kind of anti-cultural complex flooded eastern parts of my country together with some tendencies that finally resulted with war, in which people who adore this kind of music did much murderers and other bestial crimes over my people here.
But that is just one of the many reasons why I don't like this kind of music. I am in my routs modernistic person, and so I despise all populist tendencies that appeared in Postmodern time.
Oh, Christos, sorry for this long text, but it is not easy that we understand each other about this kind of issues in few words.
