A friend of mine, Jernej Mihelič recently started a blog in Slovene language. Among other things he posted the video of Gašper Mihelič (his brother) singing Without you acompanied by our tamburica group (Viniski tamburasi). The video was recorded with mobile phone, so the picture and sound is far from perfect and song is a bit corny, but here's just an example how tamburicas sound with contemporary music (Jernej did a great job arranging song for tamburicas BTW)...
I think we all agree, that Gašper has a great voice, and hopefully a bright future in singing- he sure has a talent.
For anyone who isn't sure what tamburica is- tamburica is a musical instrument with strings, similar to mandolin or balalaika, that is mostly played in western Balkans. You can read more about tamburica at the home page of one of the best (semi)professional tamburica groups of Slovenia- Šukar . They play mostly Roma music, and already published 5 CDs.
In one of my next posts I hope I'll find time to write something more about tamburica group I play in- Viniški tamburaši....
