Music Pictures of Montenegro

Much of Montenegrins music is an acquired taste to Western ears, though some of the choral works are easy to appreciate. The vocal tradition features funeral laments, generally sung by women, featuring stories about the dead person, though the lilting songs of the Boka seamen are altogether more cheerfull. The two national instruments are the flute, played by the Montenegrin people who watch the animals, and the single-string violin called the Gusle, invariably played with a vocal accompanisment.
