In the mountainous regions of eastern Serbia, Vlach folk art has produced unique “songs without words”. The singers made up for the lack of lyrics in these songs with a specific performing technique, sound coloring and singing on a “neutral” syllable. “Song without words” used to be sung by all the young shepherdesses in Homolje. Today, only one of them keeps the memory of characteristic singing – 85-year-old resident of the village of Rakova Bara, Stana Milovanović, who is trying to pass on this skill to her daughter Živojka.
Predrag Todorović, in cooperation with colleagues Marko Mirković, Slađan Bogdanović and Zlatko Đurđević, is the author of several ethnological documentaries awarded at festivals of television and film artwork both in this country and abroad.
