  "family": "global",
  "lineage": "South Slavic heroic-epic performance in which the guslar chants decasyllabic (deseterac) narrative to the drone of the gusle, a single-string bowed lute, in the Dinaric zone of Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Croatia. The living oral-formulaic technique of these singers is the empirical basis of the Parry-Lord theory, documented in Milman Parry and Albert Lord's 1930s Yugoslav fieldwork (the Parry Collection at Harvard) with singers such as Avdo Mededovic. Cycles center on the Battle of Kosovo (1389) and the hajduk outlaw heroes; delivery is a spoken-sung recitative, each line launched and closed against the gusle's held tone.",
