How long have they been playing Tambura music in Baja? Baja is a town in Southern Hungary in the Bácska/Bačka Region. This article states that tambura music has been present in the area since the second half of the 18th century. Today the town of Baja is considered the center of Hungarian tambura music. There is mention of a particularly famous band known as the Petrőczi-Petrovác Band who played tambura music as far back as 1896. The Hungarian musicologist Volly István wrote about the Petrőczi-Petrovác band in the 1960s. Like other bands in the area they played not only Serbian music but also the music of the other ethnic groups of the region. By Barvich Iván.
