Ojkanje u izvandinarskim područjima Hrvatske
Ojkanje Outside of the Dinaric Region in Croatia

Summary/Abstract: Croatian 20th century ethnomusicological literature deals mainly with two-part ojkanje of the Dinaric region, which is regarded as the prototype of this style of singing in Croatia. On the basis of field research in the Karlovačko Pokuplje region, historical data and notations of ojkanje singing in published and manuscript sources, the writer considers the phenomenon and origin of one-part (solo) ojkanje outside of the Dinaric region. The article takes a different standpoint towards the dissemination of ojkanje in Croatia and draws attention to the predominance also of one-part (solo) forms of ojkanje in the past in the Dinaric areas.
