Which tells me that Bijelo Polje in the north of Montenegro has an annual international festival of tambourine orchestras. The mind boggles. I thought it might have been a mistranslation of "tamburica"/"tamburitza" (the Balkan bouzouki-like thing) but the same expression recurs in several different websites. Is there such a thing as a tambourine orchestra? And do they all head off to the Balkans for weapons training once a year? On every website I've seen, the date is kept secret. |
