This study represents a thorough investigation of a polyphonic
vocal village tradition in Bistritsa, Bulgaria. Outsiders describe
the narrow intervals of these songs as being "maximally rough",
while the singers themselves experience their performance as
smooth, beautiful and pleasant. Almost identical polyphonic
traditions can be found in places sometimes thousands of kilometers
apart. This inquiry is carried out within a very broad and
comparative context, whereby historical sources, the origin of
different constituents and etymologies as well as electronic sound
analysis are taken into account. The results are stunning and ever
more relevant - and not just for ethnomusicologists: The babi or
grannies of Bistritsa and their songs have been inscribed on
UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Mankind in 2008.
