Croatian gusle bard, Vlado Kutle performs in front of an appreciative audience of gusle fans and sings an "ode" to the Croatian President Stipe Mesić.

Date - July 2004.
Location - Ilijino Brdo, Posušje.
Language - Croatian.

Dear Croatian brothers and sisters, let's promote our forgotten Croatian gusle tradition. Just think of Andrija Kačić Miošić, Grga Martić, Mihovil Pavlinović, Jakov Gotovac, or the names of our sports clubs - Hajduk, Junak, Gusar, Uskok, our knightly tournament Sinjska Alka... This is our holy Croatian - Dinaric - culture (embodied in our Croatian traditional gusle instrument) which has always been in the forefront of the Croatian liberation movement, a compelling token of nationhood and justice.

  • what a fascinating instrument! How much would one cost? Its intriguing how a horse hair string can be played on by a horsehair bow? Would loveot have one and know more about it! thanks for the vid!

  • The current price range for a gusle instrument is between 200 € and 500 €.

    The instrument is so mysterious, so ancient, that nobody really knows how old it is and where it came from. However, the word "gusle" is a Slavic word meaning "string".

    Gusle music is performed by a minstrel who tells a story by singing/reciting decasyllabic verses. Traditionally, this music is related to oral, epic poetry, therefore many ethnologists see the influences of ancient Greek tradition (Homer).

  • jos samo da cujem da postoje i francuske gusle

  • Hrvati su bili obavezni da znaju nemacki i madjarski,a plemici i latinski.Hrvatski nije smeo da se koristi,niti je na njemu bilo obrazovanje.

    "Ivan Paližna se borio i za samostalnu hrvatsku državu protiv mađarskog kralja Žigmunda i pao je u boju 1391."

    -sa hrvatske vikipedije.

    Upravo od tada potice animozitet izmedju nas,jer su Srbi Krajsnici bili slobodni,imali pravo na zemlju,jezik,veroispovest i nisu placali poreze za razliku od Hrvata.

  • I have a Gusle.

    I got some strings (8 strings/horsetails) from a friend, and I've tried to play but it just becomes some awful sounds. Anyone who knows why? Do I need more strings (I've read that 30 is the traditional amount) and what tone should it be tuned?
