Exactly. Racists tried to goad James Baldwin by asking, "who is the Tolstoy of the Zulus?" To which he correctly replied, "Tolstoy is the Tolstoy of the Zulus!"
Ok, here comes the explanation. "Kasapsko Oro" means "The dance of butchers" "The dance of cooks", because the two professions were strictly connected in the medieval times. The name of the dance comes from two words - "kasap" (from Otoman Turkish "kassab" - butcher) and "horo" (from Greek "horos" - a traditional circle dance). You have to know that the Balkan peninsula was one of the crossroads of the ancient world, a real melting pot of the Empires. (continues)
Many different cultures, religious and ethnic groups have come in contact, made war and exchanged their traditional heritage in these lands over many centuries. So there is no single "Kasapsko Oro", which belongs to one ethnicity. There are many versions of the song and many variations of the same song, even within the same region. As an example, Serbs too have it's "Kasapsko Oro", as well as Greeks. Check "Hasaposerviko", for example - watch?v=ADRF6x0FZ6Y (continues)
Polovica pjesme je natjecanje između njih, koji će bolju improvizaciju smisliti Half of the song is musicians competing who is going to improvise better

Aco bozhinov, Balkan music is made by Gypsy musicians! Thanks to them we have Balkan music and proud of it. Most of the time we fight for ownership but forgetting who made that music.I'm Albanian, my second profession is music.
