Kosovo 🇽🇰 • Folk dances in 10 minutes! | Valle kosovare (Vasílis)

🇽🇰 Hajde! Wanna talk about the Balkan culture? An honorable mention will be Kosovo. The Republic of Kosovo* lies landlocked in the centre of the Balkans. It is home to many cultures and ethnic groups, the majority being the Albanian one. Serbian, Bosniak, Gorani, Ashkali, Roma, Turkish etc. are part of this country's rich puzzle. Being in the center of the Balkans, Kosovo has managed to form a very unique identity with many influences from its history and peoples. Dardanians, the Serbian, Roman and Ottoman Empire helped the country shape a cultural beauty that it protects throughout the ages.
🇽🇰
In this episode we are visiting the heart of the Balkans, the territory of ancient Dardania, today's Republic of Kosovo.
Disclaimer: I'm not doing politics, I'm a folk dancer and in this channel my goal is to present in my own way traditional dances from all over the world! Please, focus on the dances and not on history or politics.
Enjoy 22 dances in just 10 minutes!

As an Egyptian, I am seeing the movement of the arms in the air identical to Egyptian dance ( Egypt was under Ottomans for 5 centuries ). But what really fascinates me is the similarity of the group of men dancing holding handkerchiefs similar to our neighbours the Lebanese and Palestinians.

Hey, would you mind telling me the name of the author/origin of the finale's version of "Valle me motive kosovare", and also where the verison of "Bre devojče, bre đavolče, čije beše ti?" is from? They both sound really nice, I'd love to see the original verisons. Aside from that, you did a great job on this video! Love from Slovakia!

[@GOTZ-pe5vl]

I did not know Kosovo sounded like The Roma, North Coast Celtic Spain, Russia, Hungary, Romania, The Caucasus, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Israel, Central Spain, Portugal, Turkey, and Azerbaijan, all combined. Kosovo hardly sounds like Albania, North Macedonia, Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, and Italy to me. Albanian sounds too much like the music from the Spanish region of Cantabria and Asturias; it also sounds very Romani (zingani) from all over Central, East, and Southeast Europe.

[@ultrex5275]

Those are all Albanian dances and songs from Kosova. The Gheg Albanians used to dance with knifes as you see because they were under constant attacks from slavs. Not to mention the traditional white hat dating back to Illyrian times. Autochtonous 🇦🇱🇽🇰

[@user-xd3bw2kw9v]

@@ultrex5275 1. My friend, literally the ones I mentioned are sung in Serbian language by Serbian singers 😂 you can't say they are Albanian. 2. We never attacked you, rather, we welcomed you when we arrived as Turkish slaves from the Caucasus. 3. Your traditional clothes are ancient Serbian clothes, you can easily find on the internet images of Serbs from 100 years ago wearing the same clothes, only that when they created a nation you had no tradition and you took our clothes from that region making them yours. 4. You are anything but native 😂 you are a mix of slaves brought from the Caucasus, Serbs, Greeks and Turks, nothing to do with the ancient men of the Balkans.

[@user-xd3bw2kw9v]

​@@ultrex5275Not to mention the fact that at 5:24 he put the image of the Serbian emperor Dušan, is that yours too? 😂

[@ultrex5275]

​@@user-xd3bw2kw9v Vasilis has put timestamps in order to understand which is what. So from the 5th minute up until 6:10 its clear that he used a serbian song along with the according dance in which the 5:25 imagine of dusan appears. Besides that i can see "Vallë e Karadakut, Xhamadani vija vija etc..." Had it been even more multicultural he would have also used Aromanian or Bosnian ones

[@waymilky442]

Remove the "Serbian" ones.

[@cadojccccgghhv4623]

[@VasilisDance]

[@katerpese]

What's with the Turkish hat on the template? Vasilis always misrepresents Albanian costumes. Even in this video he over represents the headscarf which only one valley in Kosova has; Rugova valley; that's 1% of Kosovo costumes. He does this on purpose. He is so sneaky like a snake.

[@TheWillystyla]

Albanians wore the Arabic fez along with the plis… you should accept your past, Bosnians and Turks and Romanis are part of kosovo

[@katerpese]

@@TheWillystyla No Arabic fez ever. The fez that Arabs started to wear was because of the Ottoman influence. Ottomans copied that style from the West and Balkans. That's where the fez type originates.

[@VasilisDance]

I like Rugovan dancing, sue me. The fez is part of the Balkan culture. The costume of my thumbnail is from Prizren.

[@xbosnax580]

In Kosovo live more Bosniaks than Serbs, but why are there Serbian dances included and not Bosniak ones instead?

[@MadAlbo]

Bosniaks 2gether with serbs are super minorities making up 5% of the total population. Would you include albanian dances in traditional Bosnian dances just because some very few albanian bakers live in Bosnia?

[@VasilisDance]

There will be a part 2 of Kosovo, because this video doesn't include also Gorani, Croatians, Turks, Roma and others. Among with Bosniaks everyone will be represented in the end :)

[@diellibetim]

When making Kosovo dances there is no need to make serbian dances in Kosovo video.. Let’s keep in mind in Kosovo live less than 2% serbs and also keep in mind that Serbs committed a genocide in our country and making a dance video including serbian dances its very offensive to us so please delete this video and repost it separately
