Balkan Fascination: includes CD: Creating an Alternative Music Culture in America (American Musicspheres) Book

In Balkan Fascination, ethnomusicologist Mirjana Lau%sevic, a native of the Balkans, investigates why so many Americans actively participate in specific Balkan cultural practices to which they have no family or ethnic connection.
