The role of local musicians’ labour in the social life of Križevci, Croatia

This paper presents the results of a PhD thesis research, music ethnography set in a small town of Križevci and its surrounding villages in central Croatia. The aim of the research was to show the role of local musicians as workers within the local social life. The selected musicians were those who earned money through their full-time or part-time music labour, who were mostly visible only locally, and worked within the local social infrastructure, which included concert and dance venues, institutions, non-governmental organisations, festivals, events etc. In that way, the selected musicians acted as active agents of local social life and were subsequently involved in the creation of local cultural identity. Their diverse stories and the changing situation in local infrastructure have been observed in diachronic perspective, through the past 70 or more years, reflecting politico-historical changes of the pre-socialist, socialist and post-socialist times.
