You'll learn how the rhythm section, including drums and bass, maintains a steady yet syncopated beat that encourages movement and celebration.

Additionally, we'll discuss the improvisational aspect of Čoček, where soloists respond to each other and the crowd, making every performance unique. The lead musician, often called the primas, directs the band with gestures, ensuring synchronization while allowing expressive shifts. You'll see how regional influences from Serbia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, and neighboring areas blend together, creating diverse flavors in each performance.
