These field recordings were made in 1969 and 1970, when there was still a united Yugoslavia. Yet the distinct cultural differences endured, at least as evidenced by the music in the excellent collection recorded by Wolf Dietrich. The music of Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia, Montenegro, Kosovo, and the region of old Yugoslavia that included parts of historic Macedonia are all represented in this set. Most is very traditional music passed on via the oral history of the region from one generation to the next, and still pretty well preserved even as late as the '70s. Solo and group performances of vocal music are the highpoint of the recording, with solo and ensemble bagpipes also a major portion of the music here. Epic songs (one a singer accompanied by the unique fiddlelike gusle), folk tunes on frula (flutes), and numerous dance tunes by small ensembles fill out this remarkable set. --Louis Gibson

The recent events in the former Yugoslavia give the music on volume five of the World Library of Folk and Primitive Music a special air of poignancy. Peter Kennedy, who was an associate of Alan Lomax, recorded all of the tracks at a folk festival in 1951, at a time when the Communist government believed it could forge a single national identity by showing the similarities between the various regional folk cultures. To that end, they gathered the best village musicians from all over what was then Yugoslavia and presented them in a series of concerts. Kennedy realized that it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and recorded dozens of performers including ballad singers, tamburica players, choirs, and dance bands. All of the music here is of the highest quality, although some of the recordings from the stage are somewhat muted. This two-CD set includes a well-annotated 20-page booklet that features both the original notes from the 1954 LP version as well as corrections and additions that reflect recent scholarship. Although much of the music here will be primarily of interest to ethnomusicologists, there is still plenty here for the casual listener to enjoy. --Michael SimmonsCustomer Reviews:

Wild and Wonderful Macedonian Traditional Music.......2004-12-12
The second group, "Neda Voda", is my favorite. They sing Roma (Gypsy) tunes which have Turkish roots. The musicians chose to play the Turkish saz, a tambura, and some zurnas or clarinets. This pulsating and addictive music is enhanced with the beat of several darbukas and a tar drum. The rhythms are primarily 7/8, one is in 9/8 and one is 4/4. The music is sensuous and undulating, with Middle Eastern tsiftetelli (belly dance) undertones ...
The third group called "Mastika" play "Lupchevo", "Trip to Bulgaria" and "Pumpkin Paidushko" with a semi-jazzy improvistion that is most appealing and contagious. They primarily play stringed instuments with outstanding percussion.
The fourth and last group is called "Altin Yildiz Orkestar" ("Gold Star Band"). They play a series of evocative songs that make me sing, dance and shout joyfully ... no exaggeration! Track #14 "Rumelaj" is hypnotically spell-binding. It was originally played by Kalyi Jag, a Hungarian Roma group. #15 is of Turkish roots but from Macedonia, has all the undulating rhythms of the region. I can hear the makams but am unable to identify which ones are being used. #16 originated in Kosovo, first played and sung by the Roma singer Ibrahim Semsi. #17 has unique twists and turns, created by a famous Greek Roma clarinet player. #18 has a great beat played on the tabla that hooks the listener from the start. It also includes passionate accordion music . The last track, #19 is totally mesmerizing, a Turkish recording, translated in the liner notes as a beseechment to the Creator ... to provide the singer "the way" or a direction in life. This CD contains some of the most outstanding Macedonian music I have ever heard. It will not disappoint anyone who loves the music of the Balkans. Other similar CDs recommended are: "Kurbeti" (Albanian Roma), "Balkanarama" (Seattle, WA based American band with authentic Roma sound), and "Songs frorm the City of Roses" (Albanian).

Junk Siberian Music.......2002-01-06
I am a serbian Romani Gypsy and I know good and bad music when I hear it this CD I would rate at the bottom of the list, don't wast your money on thus one.
Anthology Of Serbian Folk Music.......2000-09-03
There are a few cuts from Banat that are lively and fun, the rest are very authentic but dirge like songs.
The write ups in the booklet are great, a perfect companion to the CD and what makes the CD a scholarly work. It allows you to understand the different musical styles in the different areas and offers authentic renditions of those songs.
A true piece of Serbian history, captured on CD.
