Summary/Abstract: Music has been a fundamental element of all celebration ceremonies in Russe. Related to particular topographic spaces in the town, these musical events have functioned not only as connected to certain celebrations, but also to the places where they were performed. Yet, the sites marked for a certain period of time as "musical" have been preserved in urban mentality as such even after the re-location of the events. Thus musical celebrations have constructed and expanded the semantics of the city space and have contributed to renaming and re-signifying some of its main reference points, re-inscribing new meanings into urban space.
