#svadbenice by Rodjenice

Ideja da se na jednom mestu objedine tradicionalne svadbene pesme iz različitih regiona/država pod nazivom #svadbenice nastala je sagledavajući svadbu danas kao (još uvek) jednu od ključnih stvari u životu pojednica jer direktno utiče na status, društvenu percepciju, ekonomiju, kao i druge činioce. S druge strane, svadba kao određeni ritual neodvojiv je od pojma identiteta koji je u direktnoj vezi sa tradicijom koja se odnosi na prošlost i prenošenje vrednosti kroz generacije.
Međutim, #svadbenice nisu ritualne jer se ne izvode u ritualnom vremenu i uživo i odabrane pesme nemaju za cilj da predstave trenutak svadbenog ceremonijala. #svadbenice (odnosno odabrane pesme) predstavljaju osnovu za konstrukciju novih identiteta jer će svako od slušalaca moći sa njima da se poveže na drugačiji način i da im da novi identitet. #svadbenice su samo asocijacija na tradiciju koja zapravo ima autentičan izraz savremene kulture.

Our material titled #svadbenice (wedding songs) emerged as a result of observing the modern-day wedding as one of the key moments in an individual’s life. As a specific ritual, wedding is inseparable from the notion of identity, closely related to the tradition which refers to the past and values cherished across generations.
However, album #svadbenice is not a collection of ritual songs, since the songs are not performed in the ritual time, and the selection is not intended to represent the very moment of the wedding ceremony. #svadbenice is the basis for forming new identities - each listener will be able to connect with them in a different way and give them a new meaning and identity. #svadbenice only presents a link with the tradition which actually has an authentic expression of contemporary culture.
