Marko Treseglav ; Institute of Ethnomusicology - ZRC SAZU, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Abstract

The Slovenian southmost region of Bela krajina, bordering with
Croatia, has — according to the ethnological classification —
— Pannonian features. The author reveals the remains of its
Mediterranean culture, preserved within the spiritual aspects of folk
culture, and interprets them in relation to the region's history.
Namely, the region was, among others, settled by Dalmatians who
fled from their homes in the sixteenth century.

Keywords
