Foklore ensemble “Sokadija” from Krusevica, Croatia, deals with the original folklore of Brodsko posavlje, part of Croatia presenting the beauty and richness of Slavonian songs and dances, habits and folk costumes.
   The rich folk costumes shine their best on our girls and ladies who wear them with pride. The “šlingeraj”, embroidery and goldstiching, the whiteness of “rubina” (the upper part of the costume) and the rustling of silk speak with the most beautiful words about themselves at the folklore festivals where the Ensemble performs.
   Krusevica is a village of the municipality of Slavonski Samac in Brodsko-posavska county. Krusevica is a small part of the wide Slavonian mosaic where traditional way of life is partly still going on - a place where bread sweetly smells from the outside bread-stoves daily, a place where plum brandy “sljivovica” with colour of gold, announces a mighty snack of old Slavonian “kulen”.

   «Sokica» is, in fact, the model of Slavonian nature. Her head is in gold, in wheat ears, her shoulders in oak leaves, her breasts in grapes of the vineyard, in her waist there is a brook, rapids, from waist to toe she is a meadow full of flowers.
