UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity includes Albanian folk iso-polyphony – a traditional form of vocal music that’s especially cultivated in the south of the country and deserves our attention. Performed by the Albanian Iso-Polyphonic Choir, it features polyphonic singing in Albanian against a background sung as a drone. It can therefore be compared to the traditional songs of the Mediterranean region, the power of which has already been demonstrated at the a cappella Festival Leipzig in the past. It’s therefore high time to explore this corner of both south-east Europe and the world of song in Leipzig!
