This type of music, along with that so-called Czech "Polka" music, was invented in Serbia from the military marching bands that wanted to play something more folkish rather than militant in the 1800's

From wikipedia:

"trubači" (трубачи, the trumpeters) are extremely popular, especially in Central and Southern Serbia where Balkan Brass Band originated. The music has its tradition from the First Serbian Uprising. The trumpet was used as a military instrument to wake and gather soldiers and announce battles, the trumpet took on the role of entertainment during downtime, as soldiers used it to transpose popular folk songs. When the war ended and the soldiers returned to the rural life, the music entered civilian life and eventually became a music style, accompanying births, baptisms, weddings, slavas, farewell parties for those joining military service, state and church festivals, harvesting, reaping, and funerals."

I've noticed there is a lot of room for improvisation with this music, but I think with other traditional forms of Serbian folk music like Kolo.

I'm looking forward to seeing this movie.
