Summary/Abstract: The second part of this exclusive interview with Macedonian ethnomusicologist Velika Stojkova Serafimovska moves on to case studies: differences in vocal style and song content between different villages illustrate subtle social, ethnic and geographical singularities. The researcher's first-hand observations of ritual events and festivals dating back to pagan times also attest to the rich and largely unexplored subjects of living ethnography and ethnomusicology in Macedonia.
