  • The Balkans of the Balkans: the Meaning of Autobalkanism in Regional Popular Music
    arts Article The Balkans of the Balkans: The Meaning of Autobalkanism in Regional Popular Music Marija Dumni´cVilotijevi´c Institute of Musicology, Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia; [email protected] Received: 1 April 2020; Accepted: 1 June 2020; Published: 16 June 2020 Abstract: In this article, I discuss the use of the term “Balkan” in the regional popular music. In this context, Balkan popular music is contemporary popular folk music produced in the countries of the Balkans and intended for the Balkan markets (specifically, the people in the Western Balkans and diaspora communities). After the global success of “Balkan music” in the world music scene, this term influenced the cultures in the Balkans itself; however, interestingly, in the Balkans themselves “Balkan music” does not only refer to the musical characteristics of this genre—namely, it can also be applied music that derives from the genre of the “newly-composed folk music”, which is well known in the Western Balkans. The most important legacy of “Balkan” world music is the discourse on Balkan stereotypes, hence this article will reveal new aspects of autobalkanism in music. This research starts from several questions: where is “the Balkans” which is mentioned in these songs actually situated; what is the meaning of the term “Balkan” used for the audience from the Balkans; and, what are musical characteristics of the genre called trepfolk? Special focus will be on the post-Yugoslav market in the twenty-first century, with particular examples in Serbian language (as well as Bosnian and Croatian). Keywords: Balkan; popular folk music; trepfolk; autobalkanism 1.

  • PERSEPHONE a Musical Allegory for the Stage by David Hoffman
    PERSEPHONE A Musical Allegory for the Stage By David Hoffman In Concert Performance www.PersephoneOnStage.com July 21, 2010 The Great Room The Alliance of Resident Theaters South Oxford Space This particular story was so important to all of those ancient Greek and Roman dumbbells of whom Ms. Wafers was so dismissive, that they made it the centerpiece, the very gospel, of their most important religious ceremonies – the Mysteries of Demeter at Eleusis – which were held outside of Athens for at least 2,000 years. The initiates at these ceremonies, who included every important classical philosopher, artist, and playwright, and every Roman Emperor until the rise of Christianity, were taught this story, and used it to guide them to a secret truth that they thought to be crucial to their successful entry into the afterlife. What, exactly, this secret was has remained secret (a fact that, itself, is remarkable considering the prolific literary output of those 2,000 years of initiates), but there are layers of importance, and of metaphor in the story that we can find without too much digging. One comes when we analyze Persephone’s motivations: why does she eat the damned pomegranate (literally, the pomegranate of the damned) in the first place? All the retellings of this story suggest that it is that conscious decision, not her initial abduction, that ties her forever to the world of the dead. She chooses to be there, for at least part of the year – to be the wife of this awful god who has abducted her. His approach was god-awful, for sure, but he is the second most powerful person in the universe, and he sees her not as a little girl but as his queen.

  • Exploring Balkanology in South African Popular Culture
    ‘Hopa!’: Exploring Balkanology in South African Popular culture By Zinaida Mhlongo A research report submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Music. Johannesburg, July 2013 i Declaration I declare that this study is my own original work. Where use is made of the work of others it is indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. It is submitted for the degree of Master of Music at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. It has not been submitted before for any other degree or examination in any other university. ___________________________ Johannesburg, 22 March 2013 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I never quite imagined my Balkanology project would be as rewarding as it was. As a musician and an individual, it has brought me home, to the Balkans, through music and beautiful memories. I have to thank a few people for this: the Wits Music Department for their encouragement, and Dr Grant Olwage and Dr Susan Harrop-Allin for their amazing research course. Susan, I simply could not have written my thesis without your guidance; Prof. Malcolm Nay, for believing in me; Eugenie Chopin, for working hard on my singing voice and for your incredible patience and knowledge. iii ABSTRACT This thesis is a study of a popular music culture in South Africa called Balkanology. The research examines Balkanology as a club culture, explores its constituent elements, documents and then interprets Balkanology as a musical scene in South Africa. I examine Balkanology, its complexities and its social relevance, practices and processes.

  • Singer Is Bigger and Better Than Ever.‖ Hollywood's Sexiest Shirtless M
    ―From the looks of it, the "Whatcha Say" singer is bigger and better than ever.‖ Hollywood’s Sexiest Shirtless Men Who wouldn't want to marry these abs?!‖ ―With all due respect to Jason Derulo‘s singing, the first thing you think when you see one of his videos is ―Dude can dance.‖ The barrage of fluid contortions, twists, and gravity-defying acrobatics will have you wondering: Wait, did he really do that? But there‘s no CGI involved—only sweat equity.‖ ―Five months ago, Jason broke his neck, putting his entire career in jeopardy. No one knew if he‘d be able to get back on top. Now, he‘s proving everyone wrong.‖ ―R&B star Jason Derulo has smooth moves, both vocally and on the dance floor‖ The couple that is after our own hearts are Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo. If it isn‘t cute enough that their names both start with ―J‖, they are two gorgeous and talented people who happen to be in love…Jordin and Jason are great role models and an example of what love looks like, especially for our young lovers. Miami pop-R&B star Jason Derulo may compare past loves to regrettable tattoos on his new EP, but these five songs emphasize how he relishes in starting anew. While his past efforts (2010′s self-titled album and 2011′s Future History) shifted slyly from bubbly pop to polished rock and electrifying dance, the surprising Tattoos (out today, September 24) veers from one hormonal extreme to another. Tattoos feels either bold or heavy-handed, but it still builds anticipation, as an EP should…In Tattoos, it‘s hard to mistake new prospects for what he knows best.
