Recordings
Perel tele, šeje, tji panruni coxa is a slow song that deals with the relationship between a man and a woman. According to the singer, it is a very old song. The recording was made in 1992 at the Nikolić family home during a field research interview. Mišo Nikolić is still a bit unsure about the guitar accompaniment. This may also be because the melody deviates somewhat from typical slow songs.
