Abstracts

EN

The collection of Roma songs by Jozef Kolarčík (1899 – 1961) documents the song repertoire of Roma in eastern Slovakia (regions of Šariš, Gemer) and abroad (Romania) in the first half of the 20th century, with the focus on the 1930s and ’40s. It contains manuscript records of Roma songs, coming from 14 localities and recorded from 36 singers. Although the main focus of the collection is on song texts, research identified 179 records with musical content (tunes, sketches, fragments). Kolarčík’s collection conception was based on fieldwork in the milieu of the Roma communities. His work as a collector overlapped with the field of social study, and his results could serve also to raise the level of information in the majority community about the Roma ethnic group.
