Salih Uglla Peshteri

Salih Uglla Peshteri (Albanian: Salih Ugljani; 1849-1945) was an Albanian performer of epic poetry (Albanian: lahutar or rapsod) from Ugao, Sjenica in Peshter, modern day Novi Pazar.[1][2][3][4][5]

Life

According to Robert Elsie, Salih Uglla Peshteri was born in 1866.[6] According to Albanian sources he was a Catholic Albanian from the tribe of Kelmendi while Parry believes he was a Muslim Albanian from Shkodër.[7][8] Up to the age of 30, he sang only in Albanian but began singing in Serbo-Croatian after he married a Bosnian woman. Ugljani was able to sing in both languages for hours making him a popular lahutar.[9] In 1934 he sang the "Song of Baghdad" in Novi Pazar and it is believed that this song was taught to him by another bard.[10]

  2. Lord & Parry: "Interestingly enough, four out of the five singers whose songs appear in this volume were Albanians: Salih Ugljanin, Djemal Zogić, Sulejman Makić and Alija Fjuljanin. These singers from Novi Pazar in the Sanjak were willing and able to reproduce the same epic songs in Bosnian (Serbo-Croatian) and Albanian"
