Although no longer in existence as a sovereign
state, the Yugoslavian culture has, geographically
and spiritually, long stood where East and
West meet. In 21 recordings from the six republics,
village performers offer folk dances, gipsy,
diaphonic, and epic songs, and instrumental
improvisations.
With every purchase comes documentation
that explains not just the sounds but their
circumstances -- their who, what, when and
why.
