Songs for the Cities of Macedonia — Jovo Veljanovski's Folk Legacy
Песни За Градовите на Македонија ( Songs for the Cities of Macedonia).
Jovo Veljanovski, the lyricist of the first Macedonian pop song, Kazhi Zoshto Me Ostavi, composed a collection of songs in the Macedonian traditional style, each one capturing the spirit of cities across Macedonia. During his lifetime, he entrusted me with these melodies, and together we arranged and recorded many of them on a 4-track Tascam—recordings that have been sitting in my archive for years. I play guitar and tambura and often sing a second voice in these recordings.
I started publishing them on Bandcamp: jovo.bandcamp.com
