These excellent field recordings by ethnomusicologist and Grammy award winner Marcel Cellier were made in 1979/80. The music is pure, raw, often archaic and untouched by external influences - instrumental pieces, unaccompanied solo and polyphonic singing from various regions of Albania. Extensive information about country, music and instruments in four languages.
