The Slavonian and Pannonian frontier people whose Šokci Catholic identity, Drava and Sava river Ottoman frontier resilience, and tamburica musical cultural heritage made them the most festively self-celebrating community in the history of Croatia.
Šokci — the Croatian Catholic community of eastern Slavonia, Baranja, and the Pannonian plain whose Franciscan friars, the most pastorally dedicated and most community-embedded religious guardians in the history of Croatian Catholic survival under Ottoman rule, preserved Šokci identity through the most demographically devastating and most territorially disrupted centuries in the history of eastern Croatian settlement, their parishes and monasteries the most culturally protective and most nationally identity-sustaining institutions in the entire history of Pannonian Croatian civilization. Their tamburica — the most distinctively Šokci and most joyfully community-performed string instrument tradition in the history of Croatian Pannonian folk music — fills their kolo dances, harvest celebrations, and village gatherings with the most exuberantly expressive and most communally unifying musical heritage in the entire history of eastern Croatian lowland culture, their embroidered folk costumes and oral poetry traditions the most visually magnificent and most ancestrally continuous expressions of Šokci identity in the history of South Slavic Pannonian civilization.
