Tešan Podrugović
Serbian merchant, hayduk, storyteller and gusle player / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tešan Podrugović (Serbian: Тешан Подруговић) (Kazanci, Gacko, Herzegovina, Ottoman Empire 1775 — Sremski Karlovci, Austrian Empire 1815)[1] was Serbian merchant, hayduk, storyteller and gusle player (Serbian: guslar) who participated in the First Serbian Uprising and Second Serbian Uprising.[2] He was one of the most important sources for Serbian epic poetry recorded by Vuk Karadžić. Podrugović did not sing but used to 'speak' his poems; he understood and felt the poems and thought about what he said. He was Serbia's best known fiddle player (guslar) after Filip Višnjić.
