David Bilides and Dragi Spasovski are your hosts for discussions and samples of Macedonian folk songs and culture. We completed all 54 songs in Dragi’s 3-CD project in 2024. We are continuing with new songs, and stories about the recordings, musicians, Dragi’s life, and Macedonian culture in general.
This episode features the wonderful, but not well-known singer Marica Zilkovska. Through a connection with her son Sasho, Dragi was able to interview her, and this podcast is the result of what he learned from that conversation, as well as his own experiences back in Macedonia many years ago.
