NOTRANJSKA REGION
LIVE FOLK MUSIC
Druga Godba, 1990, DG 009
Another tape from that interesting Slovenian label Druga Godba about folk traditions from the area called Notranjska (that I couldn't place on a map). Singers, story tellers and musicians were invited in Ljubljana in June 1990 to perform on stage. Singing seems to be the main way of expression there with the four persons invited who all sing. Two of them are also musicians. Here the instruments in use show a clear Austrian influence through the practice of the zither mainly to support singing and the accordion called harmonika with a repertoire of polkas and waltzes.
The booklet in English is detailed enough and gives us a picture of the country and its inhabitants. That kind of recording is very important for those who maintained a tradition and for those who want to know about the cultural diversity that is still alive in some parts of the world.
