TAMBURITZA
FORUM
Welcome
to "The Tamburitza Forum"
This portion of The Balkan Lion dedicates 10% of my
entire website to the "elevation and preservation"
of tamburitza music. The evolution of The Balkan Lion
has grown from my roots as a tamburitzan musician.
It is my desire to use this foundation as a voice
and personality for those topics of discussion throughout
this website that are important to me and hopefully
to you-the reader.
Within these pages you will find the following information:
a) The History of Western New York tamburitza music
as seen through my eyes.
b) The Musicians Zone-leaving an imprint of the communications
impact of this site and its many "possibilities".
c) The general history of tamburitza music and commentary.
d) Western New York Tamburitza instruments, history,
and instrument pictures.
e) Additional commentary on American tamburitza craftsman
f) The memories archive which puts a "human side"
to the stories of tamburitzan musicians in humor-strange
stories, heartwarming memories and even embarrasing
moments!
g) The Western New York Tamburitzans inducted into
the coveted Tamburitza
Association Of America Hall Of Fame.
Thank you for joining me to read this fascinating
history as we look at the many sides of tamburitza
music through its historical and at times colorful
characters. Your thoughts and comments are welcome
as your support is vital to perpetuate this tamburitza
website which I dedicate in memory of the late great
Tamburash:
Nick "Tillie" Klaich
and his vision of
"THE BALKAN SERENADERS"
May tamburitza music continue to thrive through the
efforts of its present Western New York teachers,
performers, musicians and fans alike and most important-our
future musicians to come!
Hvala,
Ray "Rajko" Ranic
