Tanasije Vućić (1888–1931) was a Serbian guslar who followed and entertained the Serbian and Montenegrin Army in the Balkan and First World wars. [1]
He is remembered as a popular, modern guslar [2] in the early part of the 20th century with Serbs everywhere including musicologists who came from far and wide to record his epic singing. [3] Most musicologists were acquainted either from what they read or from recording the diction of Tanasije Vućić, the guslar whom linguist Gerhard Gesemann (1888–1948) [4] bought from Montenegro to Prague. [5] Once there, Matija Murko invited Vućić to sing the poem Majka Jugovića for the Seminar for Slavic Philology in Prague. Later, Gesemann invited Vućić to Berlin – from Montenegro. [5]
Vućić was born in Petnjica in 1888. He came from the historical Serbian tribe and region of Drobnjak. [6]
