Abstract

In the present study I have analyzed three Vlach funeral laments,audio-recorded in 2004, during the field trip to Valakonje, near Boljevac,Serbia. I have taken into discussion the dynamics of the Vlach community and its present state, with the coexistence of conservatism and transformation. The paper focuses on the performer and shows how, inspite of the fact that she is a guest worker, she is a perfect bearer of tradition.
