This book is concerned with the repertory of traditional urban song
and music of the Korce area in general and more specifically the
karakteristike (characteristic) or `distinctive' song associated
with Korce city, Albania. The first half of the 20th century marked
the climax of an evolution which started in the mid-19th century
with the oral tradition of urban song in Korce. While the
translation of `Kenga Karakteristike Korcare' into `Korcare
Distinctive Song' seems to be an odd name for a genre, it is,
however, a translation as close as possible to the original
Albanian, denoting the characteristic songs of Korce. The term
`characteristic' implies peculiar or specific songs, different not
only from the traditional urban song of Korce, but also from any
kind of song, whether folk, popular, traditional urban or art,
composed and performed among the Korce people. The book also
introduces the Korcare urban song and urban lyric song, as well as
the Saze music, which were introduced during the Ottoman domination
of the Balkans.
