Abstract
Foltin is a musical community, and I say community and not group, because the word group
is associated with the crowd. This is my attempt to try to explain the process of reading the
important characteristics of purposeful meaning in the poetry of Branko Nikolov (Foltin).
This kind of reading is qualitatively different from ordinary reading. Namely, we will dare to
read from an ethnographic point of view, which means investigating, i.e. analyzing with
active participation. From the end of the 1990s until today, I have attended all significant
“Foltin” events, which for me is something private, and therefore something that engages me
is our common Vezilka, their poetry. Hence, reading is a job for our Vezilka – Lenka or
as they prefer to say, the song 120, while simple reading is a matter of my ignorance. From
the surface level of their explicit manifestation (Music and Poetry), everything leads to
a tangled, implicit poetic level. That is the process that we technically name reading, and
reading looks like the one term that can be clearly marked as decoding from surface to deep
structures.
