TU today
The folklore ensemble „Tamburica Uzlop“ (TU) was founded in 1962 and looks back on successful 50 years, years with many musical and social highlights and experiences – from buying the first instruments to international tours and performances in TV-shows. The Tamburica Uzlop is and was always keen to preserve and foster the Croatian tradition, the folk songs, the folk dances and the Croatian language.
Hometown of TU is Oslip, a bilingual town in Burgenland, the most eastern province of Austria. Aside German the majority of the inhabitants speaks Burgenland-Croatian (an old Croatian language, spoken by the Croatian immigrants in Oslip since the year 1527).
The name of our society is comprised of the terms “Tamburica” and “Uzlop”. Uzlop is the Croatian name for Oslip. This name for the society was chosen, because it is the oldest, still common name of our hometown Oslip.
