Answer to Question 1

• musical purity


• music that is created by an isolated group of people reflecting no outside influences.


• Even in an area such as the Tarta Mountains, often described as isolated, there are qualities of muzyka Podhala that are unique and distinct, but not isolated and certainly not pure.

Answer to Question 2

• Regional music is likely to be performed in local restaurants and at music festivals throughout Europe.


• Immigrants from Europe coming to the U.S often continue their regional traditions including musical practices, e.g. at festivals and weddings.


• Boasting the largest concentration of Polish Grale outside Poland, Chicago has dozens of Tatra-style string-bands and dance troupes.


• Take a look at your local newspapers, phone books, and even television programs for information about how European groups in your neighborhood represent themselves musically.
