Thanks very much everybody -- but ESPECIALLY for the Hungarian station! I'm writing a book about a Hungarian vampire who was born in the 16th century, and nearly all of this music definitely sounds early renaissance at the youngest: virtually no polyphony except a drone; voices all solo or in unison; what little drums there are, are played on the beat and on every beat. Fascinating! Wonderful! Some,maybe most, of the melodies sound very Greek/Turkish, but some sound distinctly klezmer, and one sounded Cajun!
