Macedonian and Balkan Folk Music

Macedonian Folk Songs for Voice and Tambura
Volume 2

Macedonian Folk Songs for Voice and
		Tambura Volume 2

This 150-page book, by David Bilides and Rachel MacFarlane contains 35 Macedonian folk songs and features 2 CDs containing all the songs. The 92 minutes of music were recorded from the original records, or from cassettes, and digitally re-mastered. I've chosen 3 song samples to give you a preview.

The book is laid out in a landscape format and bound with a high-quality spiral binding and a sturdy laminated cover to make it easy to use in all situations. Readers of both volumes have had many positive comments.

You can purchase this book as part of a discounted set with Macedonian Folk Songs for Voice and Tambura Volume 1. See the order page for detalis.
