On Saturday in Parsovići, as part of the “Day of Neretvica”, the “Evening of bećarac and ganga” was held in the organization of the SIN “Neretvica” Association. Nine original groups took part, performed by bećarac and ganga, followed by sevdalinka performers and humorist Ismet Horo.
The event “Evening of bećarac and ganga 2024” was held.
“To our satisfaction, we had a very nice program. This is one of the most beautifully organized events we have had so far. We had a slightly smaller number of participants, i.e. performers of original folk songs, compared to previous years, but that did not diminish the importance of this event nor did it diminish the atmosphere. We had about 1,200 to 1,500 visitors, which is a significant number of visitors for these occasions,” Ibrahim Turak, coordinator of the event said
The goal of this manifestation is to preserve the original folk song from oblivion and perhaps encourage younger generations to love this part of our tradition because if this does not happen, the fate of the original folk songs will be uncertain, the organizers said.
