Music of Montenegro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Montenegro is a country in south Balkans, on the Adriatic sea.

The 10th and 11th century composer of religious chants Jovan of Duklja is the oldest composer known from the Adriatic coast. At the end of the 12th century a script was made, now called Ljetopis Popa Dukljanina, which described the secular use of musical instruments.

The first music school in Montenegro was founded in 1934. In the 20th century, Borislav Taminjzić, Senad Gadević and Žarko Mirković helped bring attention to Montengrin music.

Prominent Montenegrin singers Ismet Krcić, Ksenija Cicvarić, Zdravko Đuranović and Zoran Kalezić helped Montenegrin music gain prominence.
