Šokačko kolo

This dance is done in Slavonija, Baranja, and Bačka, although this variation is
from Baranja, which is located between the Dunav river, and the lower part of
the Drava river, in the Pannonian plains of Croatia. Although there are only a
few dances from Baranja, the wealth of the dances lies in their variation and
preservation until today. No festivity or celebration would be complete without
dancing Šokačko kolo. This dance begins with the drmeš, which is interrupted
by singing and walking in rhythm in the circle. This pattern is repeated over
and over until the musicians, usually a tambura orchestra or bagpipe (“gajde”)
player in the center of the circle, stops playing. This dance was learned by Željko Jergan in 1989 at Ðakovački Vezovi (Village group of Draž).
