Dragi Spasovski Jubilee Concert DVD
This live DVD was recorded on November 22, 2014 at the Ethnic Cultural Theatre in Seattle, WA. It's a celebration of 45 years of performance and Macedonian folk music artistry by Dragi Spasovski.
For this concert, Dragi was accompanied by talented Macedonian folk music enthusiasts from Seattle, Boston, and San Francisco. The concert included music from three Macedonian folk music strands: modern instruments, urban songs from the čalgija tradition (Ottoman-influenced folk music), and izvoren songs, (traditional rural instruments).
Below (and here) is one of the urban pieces, Ja izlezi, stara majko, followed by the DVD playlist and a list of the musicians.
