EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a Croatian Shepherd named Ivan Tisov is captured in a moment of respite from his pastoral duties, playing the traditional musical instrument known as the frula. Dating back to the 18th century, the frula, also referred to as the svirala or jedinka, is a medium-sized end-blown aerophone that resembles a recorder or flute. Typically made of wood and featuring six holes, this musical instrument holds deep cultural significance for the Croatian and Serbian peoples. The frula holds a special place in the history of these regions, as it was traditionally played by shepherds while tending their flocks. The soothing melodies produced by the frula would echo through the rolling hills and valleys, providing a comforting soundtrack to the daily life of rural communities. In this image, Ivan sits on the ground, his satchel and bag of supplies nearby, as he focuses intently on the frula, his fingers gracefully covering the holes. The serene expression on his face speaks to the deep connection he has with both his instrument and the land he tends. The photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of music and nature were intertwined. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to thrive in Croatia and Serbia.
