Discover Guca Collection Story
The village of Guča gained worldwide fame at the time for its gathering of trumpeters, the largest trumpet event in the world.
The traditional Dragačevo trumpet - its cult kept alive for almost two centuries - became world famous over time. It is thanks to the trumpet that the name of Serbia has sounded on all continents.
The musical performers - virtuoso, rival trumpeters - are mostly self-taught. They play by ear and quite spontaneously, they play from the heart and soul.
During the three days of the festival, 250,000 to 500,000 lovers of Balkan rhythms pass through this small town.
