The Dunav database

The Dunav dance database is a ten-year, one man project to document Balkan folklore, created and maintained by Yehuda Ben Harush. The most comprehensive dance and folklore database in existence, it includes over 19,000 songs in MP3 format. Each song includes details such as the dance name, the dance type, the dance teacher, dance steps, song lyrics, and translation. The database also includes more than 7000 dance clips converted from analog video to MPG format.

So where is it?

The database is currently more than 500 GB. There are copyright issues that prevent us from making it public, but we share pieces of it through this site.
