The famous “Bronzes of Goumenissa” first appeared in the early 20th century in Western Macedonia and the Balkans.<\/p>\n

No one can resist their explosive and “bronze” sound, which testifies to their Balkan imprint.<\/p>\n

There are about 200 musicians in Goumenissa today.<\/p>\n

Bands usually come from members of the same family, as the musical tradition is passed down from generation to generation. From the oldest who were self-taught musicians, to the youngest who study music.<\/p>\n

The tradition of bronze in Goumenissa states that the French allies who were present during the First World War, when they left the area, buried their bronze instruments in a field. A few years later, they were accidentally discovered by some farmers, and around 1920 they began to use them.<\/p>\n

Impressive for the visitor is the presence of “Bronze” in the procession of the Epitaph every Good Friday while at every opportunity of a local festival the “Bronze” with their Balkan sound will enchant you![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2723″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right” qode_css_animation=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1613339341016{margin-top: 60px !important;}” z_index=””][vc_column]
