Starogradska

Starogradska, also known as "Old Town Music," is a traditional music genre originating from the Balkans, particularly associated with Serbia, which encapsulates the urban cultural spirit of times past. This genre is characterized by its melodic richness and emotional depth, often conveyed through a blend of romantic, nostalgic, and melancholic themes. The music typically employs acoustic instruments like the accordion, violin, tamburitza, and sometimes, brass elements. Artists in this genre, such as Dusan Jaksic and Sekstet Skadarlija, tend to have powerful, emotive voices that match the storytelling nature of the songs which frequently revolve around the themes of love, loss, and the joys and sorrows of life in the old towns. Its timeless appeal ensures that starogradska remains a cherished treasure within the regional music scene.
