WHAT IS A “TAMBURAS”
Well, first of all…He is a lover…He loves his Croatian people and his Croatian land, and most of all…his Croatian music, the mistress of each
He is admired by women, respected by men, and followed by children
He has a memory that is unlimited…almost an eighth wonder of the world
He can remember hundreds of songs…but often forgets to come home at night
He has hands that are strong and fingers that are gentle…and a voice that is powerful
He will hold the “Tambura” like the child he loves…and yet in his fashion…can make it heard loudly and clearly
He is a vagabond…a restless soul…always chasing an endless dream
He is a ham…and he will break his heart to please anyone who will listen
A “Tamburas” is not made…He is born under a special spell…A fortunate child who can hear the echoes of the wind sing…The sad song…The happy song…The love song…of his Croatian people
