Albanian Urban Lyric Song in the 1930s
ISBN: 9780810848900 / Angielski / Mixed media product / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

But it is no less a part of the country's musical history, particularly in the twentieth century, and is equally as pure an expression of Albanian spirit and...
