Things are happening in Serbia, people mobilizing and organizing to resist a corrupt authoritarian government.
No leaders, cooperation, solidarity, respect for differences.
One student explains (very well and in excellent English) how they're doing. The most interesting and HOPEFUL thing I've watched all week.

Fascinating #folklore project: a #map of #folk tunes gathered by Oskar Kolberg, great ethnographer of 19th century, to listen and download. Mostly territories of Commonwealth of Both Nations (that is, today's #Poland, #Lithuania, #Belarus and #Ukraine), but also #Lusatia, #Slovakia, #Slovenia, #Croatia, #BosniaHerzegovina and #Serbia. Sadly, not linked to lyrics, music only, but still a delightful journey.
As Kolberg worked in 19th century, his works obviously do not contain recordings, but the map gives #MIDI, #MusicXML and #EsAC.
