TRIO KRAS

 

TRIO KRAS/LIVE FOLK MUSIC

LJUDSKI PLESI IZ SEVERNE ISTRE
POPULAR MUSIC FROM NORTHERN ISTRIA

Druga Godba, 1989, DG 006

Another rare tape from the folk revival in Istria (see the post on the 15th of July) with the Trio Kras. Ottavio Štokovac Rapatočki plays the fiddle, Dario Marušić plays the acompanying fiddle and Umberto Pucer Berto Macul plays the bass. Istria is now divided between Slovenia and Croatia. The area considered here is in Slovenia around the city of Grožnjan/Grisignana. Istria had been nevertheless  under strong Venetian influence politically and culturally for centuries. Like all border zones the population is quite mixed as the names of the musicians here show. The titles of the tunes are mixed as well. The fiddle is the main instrument in duet with at least one bass like in Val Resia. Dario Marušić is a well known revivalist both in Italy and in Istria. This tape is made of live and studio recordings. The tracks B7 and B8 are one track (16).
Presentation text in Slovenian, Italian and English.
