Signification
Listening to songs or melodies.
Contexte culturel
Music is central to the 'Slava' (patron saint day) and weddings, where 'trubači' (trumpet players) are common. Listening to music in these contexts is a loud, communal, and celebratory act. The concept of 'Sevdah' or 'Dert' involves listening to music that is deeply sad but provides a cathartic pleasure. It is a specific way of 'slušati muziku' with the heart. The 'EX-YU Rock' scene is a point of pride. Listening to bands like EKV or Azra is often seen as a sign of being 'urbana faca' (a cool, urban person). Serbian youth are heavy users of YouTube for music. 'Slušati muziku na Jutjubu' is more common than using paid streaming services like Spotify in some demographics.
