Music of Montenegro
Montenegro is a state in south Balkans, on the Adriatic sea. The region's musical history dates back to the Paleolithic period, from whence has been found a whistle made from bone which is the oldest musical instrument ever found in Europe.
The 10th and 11th century composer of religious chants Jovan of Duklja is the oldest composer known from the Adriatic coast. At the end of the 12th century a script was made, now called Ljetopis Popa Dukljanina, which described the secular use of musical instruments.
The first music school in Montenegro was founded in 1934. In the 20th century, Borislav Taminjzic, Senad Gadevic and Žarko Mirkovic helped bring attention to Montengrin music.
The most famous group in Montenegro are No Name who competed for Serbia & Montenegro at the Eurovision Song Contest 2005.
