Ojkanje - old wolf singing

Very interesting and a good link.

But that same style of 'singing', perhaps not entirely synonymous, but reasonably close, was also found in the Comanche and Cheyenne nations.

In general, American Indian 'death songs' were also similar.

When your out on the high and lonely lonesome... be it no doubt Serbia's Balkan Mtns or the Llano...there is a 'closeness' that can be found and felt with your environment.

Fascinatingly enough...there, at least it's been my experience in such places, that one is not inclined to be around or near fellow humans. And if you are, it's usually in very small groups (1-3). But rather is more comfortable with the creatures who reside there.

Nor have I found an overwhelming desire to be in conflict with them or them with me. Rather there remains a mutual respect and distance maintained that allows for both to avoid confrontation.

Perhaps...that's what your Balkan singers are emulating.

Keep up your good works in bringing us cultural awareness.
