Very Surprised to Find A Serbian Festival in Belgrade With Traditional Music!

It was such a nice surprise to get to be able to watch some traditional Serbian Folk music and dance at the 29th Anual Belef Festival. I hope you will also enjoy this. It was a spur of the moment experience, trying to get a ticket to what turned out to be a sold out show. But lucky for me I was gifted a free pass, from a guy whom turned out to be a local celebrity. Was very great - ful to be able to get in and share with you guys. Check it out!

It is the folklore ensemble `Kolo`, a professional ensemble of folk dance and music founded by the Serbian government in 1948. So far, they have held about 6, 000 concerts around the world in their mission to preserve and present the folk dances and music of Serbia. Not everyone can pass their audition, among these dancers there are those from the ballet school, so you really watched the best of the best. The Kolo ensemble is under the care of the state of Serbia and has its financial support, so concert tickets are never expensive, which is wonderful! :)

Hello Vern and glad you were able to get a pass! Shows like the one you attended greatly increases the country's culture and traditions. It is as important for you as a tourist as well as those that live there to appreciate shows like these and learn what truly makes up a country's past! On with the show!

KOLO dances from Serbia. Kolo comes from the Serbian word "Okolo" meaning "around" and wheel and Kruglo meaning circle. In other words, circle dance. Cognate with the English word "wheel" which comes from the Old English word hweol, hweogol, from Proto-Germanic *hwehwlan, *hwegwlan, from Proto-Indo-European *kwekwlo-, an extended form of the root *kwel- "to revolve, move around". Cognates within Indo-European include Icelandic hjól meaning wheel, Greek κύκλος kúklos, and Sanskrit chakra, the latter two both meaning "circle" or "wheel". A car is called kola in Serbian :)

How wonderful to be there. Nice to see traditions from the past.
In the long distant past, countries, when invading other countries, would try to wipe out their history... Here in the USA, they are doing that from within. It is so wrong.
Take care and keep on enjoying your interesting life. Peace, Love, Harmony, Laughter, and Great Health to you and all around you 👍❤️🙏
