Thread Name: Albania folk music
Subject: RE: Albania folk music
Sorry I couldn't help more--my contact never got back to me, and after I while, I forgot to follow up. You got to the right person, at least. And got the right words. From the translation, it seems like a pretty depressing song, for a wedding song, at least, but that isn't surprising. I missed MMario's ABC posting, and have just played it--it sounds vaguely familar--perhaps I have heard some

Does she, or someone she knows teach the song? Perhaps they have a tape that they can send you--Seems to me that she used to teach a few Albanian songs at Balkan Music Camp--
