Linđo

It is danced to the accompaniment of lijerica (an old Southern Dalmatian instrument with three strings), which came from the Eastern Mediterranean in the late 18th century and spread on the Adriatic coast in the 19th century.

It is now extensively performed in the Dubrovnik's coastal region, in Konavle area, in Dubrovačko Primorje (Dubrovnik west coast) on the Pelješac Peninsula and on the islands of Mljet and Lastovo, as well as parts of Herzegovina.

The dance master plays sitting, with lijerica on his left knee, while stamping with his right foot, thus dictating rhythm to the dancers.

They move in a circle around the dance master, who gives commands (in rhyme, humorous and often with double meaning).

Today, his great-great-grandson Mario continued the tradition and plays lijerica in Linđo.
