| Baranya is an area which straddles the border between northeastern Croatia and southwestern Hungary. The villages in Hungary near the town of Pécs are inhabited by a mixture of Croatians and Serbs, who have lived there together for many generations. Their dances retain their Slavic character, with little or no influence from the surrounding Hungarian culture. This suite of dances from Hungarian Baranya is set at a traditional holiday festival called a Kermez; it contains the song Oj Savice (Oh, little Sava River) and the dances Okretanje, Tandrčak, Romanska, Marice Kolo, Todore, Tanac, and Trojanac. | ||
