In 1878, Maestro Giovani Canale, an Italian from Naples, created the “first musical band” dating back to the Ottoman rule. The creation of this band marked the beginning of an artistic “revolution” not only for Shkodra, but for all of Albania …
There is a document proving the creation of the first Albanian musical band in Shkodra in 1878. This document was found by the State Archives, and the musician Vasil Tole suggests to the public. Yesterday, in a post on his social network, Tole considered this data related to the history of Albanian music as a precious gift where the creation of the gang marks the beginning of an artistic “revolution” not only in Shkodra But throughout Albania. In a post on the social network, Tole writes that “precious data is given in the correspondence of 1891, in Italian, between the Archbishopric of Shkodra, Shkodra Veli and the Austrian consul in Shkodra, where it is about stopping the activity of the musical band Church by Veliu after the gang committee’s insistence request to allow her activity. ” The document shows the musician found in the State Archive (D.14, F.132, pp.1-6, D.31, p.20), 1891. Below Tole publishes a part of the text of this request: “… the band Ours being a continuation of that, now known by His Majesty, Emperor Sultan, through the order given to us by His Excellency Hysen Pasha, the General Governor on 13/25 September 1878. And since the Banda is an institution that There is no political or religious purpose or color, except to promote the country’s progress and decors, we do not doubt that and his Excellency, the current governor, since he needs so much for the intellectual and moral development of our city, will grant us permission To continue the activity allowed by his Majesty the Emperor Sultan. ”
In 1878, Maestro Giovani Canale, an Italian from Naples, created the “first musical band” in 1878, in the period of Ottoman rule. The creation of this gang marked the beginning of an artistic “revolution” not only for Shkodra, but for all Albania as the first steps when culturally occupied Albania was attempting to change cultural geopolitics to join the advanced Western countries From where these instruments were born and developed. The creation of this gang has not only an artistic and cultural significance, but also political and geopolitical significance. “Marubi’s historical picture and the published document clearly indicate the difficulties of establishing and pursuing the activity of the first musical band in Shkodra. The image is about the music of the musicians and not the gang music that was European as a repertoire, which was also interpreted by the 100% European tool as technology, “writes Tole.
