What an amazing sound - Women from the Rugova region in Kosovo are singing to the rhythms of tepsia (copper pan for preparing traditional food). This disappearing minimalistic style was a popular form of singing among communities throughout the Dinara mountain range. Filmed by Japanese ethnographers from the National Museum of Ethnology in Osaka.
“When Dante Gabriel Rossetti read the novel Wuthering Heights, he wrote to a friend: “The action takes place in Hell, but the places, I don’t know why, have English names.””
