Croatian American Tamburitza band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Trubaduri traces its roots back to the Pittsburgh Junior Tamburitzans led by John “Greyko” Gregurich and Violet Ruparcich. One of the premier youth tamburitza ensembles in the 1960s, '70s and '80s, the Pittsburgh Juniors performed all over the United States and Canada, New Zealand, and made four trips to Croatia in the former Yugoslavia. Under the eye of Gregurich and Ruparcich members moved through various groups until Trubaduri was formed in 1969.

Trubaduri moved way beyond tradition into "Tamburitza-Rock" by adding guitars, drums and keyboards to the mix, and introduced generations of the American public to new genres of Croatian music. They embraced rock, pop, klapa and other regional music and have established themselves as the cutting edge choice for Croatian contemporary music in America.

The group are still (2024) performing today.
