Varia

Brass bands are very common in the east of Macedonia and play daily in the villages. They are often composed of Romanies whose repertory is inspired both by oriental (and even Indian) and national (Macedonian) musical themes. It is as a musician admitted into one of these brass bands that the author could make his ethnomusicological investigation.
