From the liner notes:
This historic series, the first anthology of world music in high fidelity sound, spans five continents and 25 countries. Edited by Alan Lomax, the World Library contains the recordings and annotations of many of world music's finest scholars, including Lomax himself. The Alan Lomax Collection The Alan Lomax Collection gathers together the American, European, and Caribbean field recordings, world music compilations, and ballad operas, of writer, folklorist, and ethnomusicologist, Alan Lomax. Recorded in 1951 by Peter Kennedy. Original notes by Albert Lord. New introduction and notes by Ankica Petroviæ, Ph.D., and Rajna Klaser. Remastered to 24-bit digital from the original field recordings.
Made at a national folk festival in 1951, these recordings capture the rich musical traditions and practices prevailing in the territory of the former Yugoslavia. They testify to the depth and scope of ethnomusicological research by regional folklore institutes in their quest to construct a supranational culture - Yugoslavia - poignantly reminding us of an ideal of cultural co-existence. Much of the music presented here may still be heard in the regions of their origin, but cut off from other ethnic musics. It is our hope that these intriguingly beautiful sounds may lead to a more tolerant acceptance of others among a recently divided people. -The Editors.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
