Even though the recording should have been titled Village Music of CROATIA (all but the last track are Croatian except Gaida Avasi which is Macedonian) this recording was one of the first quality field recordings of traditional Croatian Folk Music and is a must have for anyone who is interested in folklore and world music or good source music in general. It is paired in my collection with Village Music of Bulgaria also collected by Mr. Koenig and Ethel Raim.

(And yes, it is predominantly Croatian.)
