Serbia: from Novi Sad to Guca, summer of music festivals
2 months rich in concerts, jazz, electronics, brass bands
08 June, 11:07
(ANSA) - ROME - Jazz and electronics, brass bands, turbo folk:
the summer in Serbia is rich in entertainment and concerts. Novi
Sad, capital of Vojvodina, from 9 to 12 July will host one of
the most important events of contemporary dance in Europe, Exit
Festival, in the Petrovaradin fortress, built in the late
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
A very original event, which was born in 2000 as a gathering
of students opposed to Slobodan Milosevic's regime: thousands of
young people in the park along the banks of the River Danube,
used to organize a 100-day festival with concerts, and debates
about their condition and aversion to regime.
This year this festival will host, among others, the new star of British soul, Emeli Sande, but also Faithless, Hardwell, ManuChao, La Ventura, Martin Garrix, Motorhead, The Prodigy, Roisin Murphy and dozens of major makers of international electronic music.
In 15 years, Exit has managed to bring in Novi Sad 2.6 million young people from 60 countries around the world. Near Novi Sad, you can discover the Vojvodina region, where you can visit the wine cellars in Sremski Karlovci and the national park of Fruska Gora with 16 Orthodox monasteries.
Traditional Balkan music, from 3 to 9 August, in Guca, which this year will host the Brass Festival. Orchestras from all over Serbia will compete to win the 'Golden Trumpet' award. Not far from Guca, on the slopes of Mount Zlatibor, fascinating corner with the ethno-village of Sirogojno and Drvengrad, the village built by Emir Kustrurica.
From 13 to 16 August the town of Nis, the birthplace of the Emperor Constantine, will host the Nisville Jazz festival, featuring the best international jazz stars: Wayne Escoffery, Carmen Souza, Monty Alexander, Incognito. From 19 to 23 August, over 500,000 people celebrate the Belgrade Beer festival, launched in 2003, which is an extraordinary opportunity to learn about one of the youngest capitals of Europe: 44% of Belgraders are aged between 15 and 44. International and Serbian Rockstars will take centre stage.
