Description
In this scientific-analytical study, we are talking about the geography and variety of genres that many Albanian singers and instrumentalists have recorded in the "Odeon" music club, which was founded in Germany in 1903. This article also talks about the educational-artistic levels. of the recorders of these songs and dances where, amateur singers who, what is the truth, dominate, there are also many singers educated in various well-known European centers, such as: Rome, Milan, Vienna, Graz, Montpellier, Paris, etc. . in the years 1921-1936 well-known names of Albanian music, including Mihal Ciko, Tonin Guraziu, Jorgji Filçe-Truja, Tefta Tashko-Koço, Marije Paluca-Kraja, Nafiz Tela, Kristo Koço, Kristaq Antoniu, Sotir Kosmo, Nestor H. Marrioti, Gjyzepina Kosturi, Pjetër Dungu, Lola Aleksi-Gjoka, etc. By making recordings of traditional civic folk songs on discs, these personalities made the Albanian song and music part of the millions of recordings from around the world and part of an advanced industry of the time, even more so when the recordings in Cilindra wax were current and usable alongside Shellac and Vinyl disc recordings. Of course, the number of amateur singers and instrumentalists dominated convincingly, but the singers and instrumentalists who made these recordings were simply virtuosos who basically knew the spirit of the people, which they described through sounds. In fact, this truth has made the competent people choose for recording exactly these songs, these creations and these instrumentalists who convinced with their playing and interpretation.
