While I am a Japanese, #Balkan #music used to be my favorite, and I still have a collection of cassette tapes with Balkan #FolkSongs 😉
These tapes are about 35 years old, but today, I felt like revisiting my old collection 😊
I have always loved those unique, irregular rhythms, like 11/16 😉

All that effort, time, and money down the drain.
