Songs and Dances of Yugoslavia is the culmination of musicologist Laura Boulton’s visit to the former SFR Yugoslavia in 1951 as part of an American cultural mission. Boulton recorded music from all six republics of the former country that has, as she puts it, a “vigor and vitality...beyond the description of words.” The music features vocals as well as traditional instruments from the region, including the gusle and the tamburitsa. The extensive liner notes include comments from Boulton, English translation of the lyrics, sheet music, and descriptions of each republic’s unique musical style.
