It seems that wherever I go in Bosnia and Herzegovina, traditional skills and cultural activities are slowly disappearing. From making instruments, to dancing and much more, the latest generations don't seem interested, and that could mean a massive impact on the heritage of not only this misunderstood country but also the wider region. I talk to Nemanja Knežević, to learn a little about the challenges he faces as the director of Banja Luka's biggest traditional dance ensemble. https://www.maslesa-folklor.org/# (Check out the website of Ensemble Veselin Mašlese. ) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrYoy9yza7k-h8jadcTV3Yw (Veselin Mašlese on YouTube.) https://www.instagram.com/anipmaslesa/ (Veselin Mašlese on Instagram). In the interview we mention Efie Derksen, a lady from the Netherlands who is also passionate about protecting local folklore and helping to promote its survival. https://livinginbosniaandherzegovina.com/podcasts/folklore-in-bosnia-and-herzegovina (Check out this Podcast to find out more.) https://myborrowedheritage.webnode.nl/ (And this extremely informative film.)
