Cultural Village Foundation-Katara, in collaboration with The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco), recently hosted the Serbian folk group “Abrasevic” for two nights at the Cultural Village.
The performances enthralled visitors as the dancers appeared in colourful handmade traditional costumes whilst a backing orchestra completed the presentation with an impressive portrait of Serbia and other cultural traditions from the Balkans.
Since being established in 1905, “Abrasevic” has performed hundreds of concerts all over the world. During more than a century of touring the ensemble has achieved great success as an ambassador for Serbia’s rich traditional art, dances and music.
“Katara is a Cultural Village which brings the kind of culture which ensembles such as Abrasevic are best at,” a visitor said.
Working with Unesco has allowed a number of incredible global performers such as what we witnessed from Serbia over these last two nights. There are lots more to come and we look forward to presenting these outstanding cultural displays.
The collaboration between Katara and Unesco has allowed various forms of heritage to appear together in one place. A total of 20 groups will be performing till the month of May at the Cultural Village. Katara will soon host a cultural experience from Jordan along its esplanade on February 29 and March one.
