Croatia | Island of Krk | Group Šoto | Mantinjada for two Sopile/Kanat for two Male Voices

Details

Description

Mantinjada for two sopile followed by kanat for two male voices.
Formed in 1997, Šoto is the official group of the villages of Jurandvor and Baška, in the Baška valley, on the southernmost area of the Island of Krk, Croatia. On this island there are peculiar forms of vocal and instrumental two-part music with intervals that are different from those in use in art polyphony. The video starts with sopile (shawm) players Žarko Dujmović e Tomislav Seršić performing a mantinjada, a genre used during traditional weddings to invite the bride to leave her home to join the wedding procession, and nowadays used in solemn occasions. Sopile are always performed by two players: the leading musician plays the high register mala sopila while the one who follows plays the low register vela sopila. After the sopile, the video presents a two voice kanat performed by two singers (Darko Dujmović e Žarko Dujmović). The term kanat refers to a melodic pattern in two-part singing (a tanka part, “thin”, and a debela part, “fat”) on which several epic and lyric texts can be sung.
The concert was organized by the Intercultural Institute for Comparative Music Studies with the advise of Giuseppe Massimo Rizzo, within the series Polifonie "in viva voce” 15, curator Maurizio Agamennone, in cooperation with the Department of Philosophy and Cultural Heritage, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
