Dušan Jovanović - Marširala Kralja Petra Garda (1925)

A very nice version of an old Serbian patriotic song.¹ Legendary primaš, vocalist, and band leader Dušan Jovanović recorded this track in 1925,² with his "Orao" tamburica orchestra.

¹ This song dates originally to the Balkan Wars (1912-13), but it's development can be traced to even earlier Serbian guerrilla songs from the regions of Old Serbia and Macedonia (an example being the song "Mrka četa", which has similar lyrics and an identical melody).

² Recorded in New York, November, 1925 (Ethnic Music on Records Vol.2: Slavic, p.950 - Richard K. Spottswood, University of Illinois Press).
