Here is another record with the recordings of East European folk music traditions from Deben Bhattacharyas taperecorder from 1965. He certainly was very productive and also quite successful at getting his recordings published. Again many of the other recordings made at this trip and in many instances by these very same artists, were also later represented on other labels. I am especially happy to point out the post today on Folkcatalogues blog of this Argo Record Co. Bulgarian record. There is lots to read there so don't forget to check it out!

This record I am posting here, was scheduled for a bit later in the week, but I thought it was a good thing to let this one jump the line to coincide with that one, since the recorded material is so closely related.
