Bosnia: Echoes from an Endangered World

by ECHOES: BOSNIAN MUSLIM CHANTS

Overview

This compilation drawn from both field work and recordings on the then Yugoton label gives a sense of the richness of Bosnian Muslim culture before the catastrophe. The music is admirably varied, ranging from mid-'80s local pop to shepherds' songs and country-dance music. All royalties go toward humanitarian aid in Bosnia. ~ John Storm Roberts, Original Music
