Jeste li culi 'judi
This song is steeped in the tradition of Dalmatia, the coastal region
of Croatia - its maritime commerce, the limestone karst landscape,
and the infamous bura, a northeast wind which ravages the Adriatic
shores. Dalmatian melodic style shares a lot with Italian folk music.
This song, in waltz tempo and sung in the dialect of the Croatian
coast, is a straightforward treatment of a maritime tragedy. Performed
by Ryan Werner (prim, brac and celo), Chris Ulm (brac and vocals),
Boris Kuzmanovic (brac and vocals), Dave Pozgaj (bugarija and vocals),
Ivo Gretic (berde).
(Smithsonian Folkways Recordings album #40088 1998)
