Lijerica

 

Lijerica

The \lijerica (pronounced lee-air-itza) is a musical instrument from Hercegovina and the Croatian region of Dalmatia. It is a pear-shaped, three-stringed instrument which is played with a bow. It is played to accompany the traditional linđo dance from the region. The lijerica's name comes from the lyre which it probably evolved from.

While the lijerica is most often associated with traditional folk music, it is still found in modern music from the region. One artist who is notable for his use of the instrument is Mate Bulić.
