Oralno doba

Oralno doba (The Oral Age) was a Serbian talk/cabaret show airing nightly on Fox televizija from mid November 2007 until early June 2008. It was hosted by Lane Gutović.

Launched on 19 November 2007, and airing nightly from Monday to Thursday at 10 pm, the show came as replacement to the similarly conceptualized Marko Živić Show that was taken off the network's schedule months earlier. Oralno doba's very first guest was Ceca Ražnatović, followed by Ana Ivanovic later on as part of the same episode but her interview was conducted via satellite.

History

The show's guests covered a wide spectrum: from turbo folk stars (Jelena Karleuša) and retired footballers turned reality television stars (Saša Ćurčić) to individuals from politics and religious life discussing very serious topics and issues (mufti Muamer ef. Zukorlić).

Modified format

Initially a straight talk show with usually one guest and a single comedy bit called "Pisma uredniku", since 19 January 2008, some two months into its run, Oralno doba went through slight retooling that included the arrival of well-known Serbian TV director Stanko Crnobrnja on board. Simultaneously, the show got more cabaret elements and furthermore its title was modified to Oralno doba - Video cabaret. Also joining the show on this occasion were actors Jelena Škondrić and Bora Nemić who participated in various cabaret sketches with Gutović.

Davul

The davul or tupan is a large double-headed drum that is played with mallets. It has many names depending on the country and region.

Names

Some names of davuls include:

These drums are commonly used in the folk music of Iran and Turkey, as well as Albania, Romania, Bulgaria and portions of Greece, Serbia and Macedonia as well as Iraq and Armenia. These drums have both a deep bass sound and a thin treble sound due to their construction and playing style, where different heads and sticks are used to produce different sounds on the same drum.

Doba (woreda)

Doba is one of the woredas, or administrative wards, in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia. It is named after its major town Doba. Part of the Mirab Hararghe Zone, Doba is bordered on the south by Chiro, on the west by Mieso, on the north by the Somali Region, on the east by the Misraq Hararghe Zone, and on the southeast by Tulo.

Overview

Although coffee is an important cash crop of this woreda, less than 20 square kilometers are planted with this crop.

In October 2004, a referendum was held in about 420 kebeles in 12 woredas across five zones of the Somali Region to settle the boundary between Oromia and the adjacent Somali Region. According to the official results of the referendum, about 80% of the disputed areas have fallen under Oromia administration, though there were numerous allegations of voting irregularities in many of them. The results led over the following weeks to minorities in these kebeles being pressured to leave. Doba authorities reported 12,000 refugees had fled to their woreda, requesting immediate relief support from NGOs. By late February, the Zonal authorities planned to aid 16,615 refugees in five kebeles, although the Federal Disaster Prevention and Preparation Committee provided assistance to only 5,000 people.
