КРВТА НЕ Е ВОДА: НАРОДНАТА ПЕЈАЧКА ДАФА ЦЕПЕНКОВА
Blood is Thicker Than Water - The Interpreter of Folk Songs: Dafa Cepenkova

Summary/Abstract: This article is dedicated to Dafa Cepenkova, a famous interpreter of folk songs. She is a member of Cepenkov family from Prilep and was the sister of the well-known collector and writer of folk art Marko Cepenkov. Unlike her brother Marko, who possessed a remarkable talent for storytelling, Dafa possessed a singing talent. Most of the songs written in Naum Tahov's Collection belong to Dafa. The interpretation and the art of improvisation make the songs be sung with a sense of metrics and a soulful spirit, and some of these songs are works by the singer herself. That is why Dafa Cepenkova is ranked among the best Macedonian folk song interpreters of the 19th century.
