Albanian folk music is divided into three groups sylistic, with other important areas related to music Shkodra and Tirana, the main groupings are the Ghegs the northern and southern Labs and Tosk. The northern and southern traditions are contrasted by the "rugged and heroic" tone of the North and the "relaxed, gentle and exceptionally beautiful" form of the South. These different styles are unified by "the intensity that give both artists and listeners, their music as a medium for expression and patriotic than a vehicle that is the story of oral history, [1], and certain features such as the use of obscure rhythms such as 3 / 8, 5 / 8 and 10 / 8 [2] The first set of the Albanian Folk music was Pjeter Dungu in 1940.
Albanian folk songs can be in large groups, the heroic epics of the north, and the sweet melodic lullabies, love songs, wedding music, work songs and other types of songs. The music of various festivals and holidays is also an important part of the Albanian folk song, especially those who celebrate St. Lazarus day (llazore), the inauguarates the spring. Lullabies and laments are very important types of Albanian folk song, and are usually by solo women.
northern Albania
The Ghegs from north of the Shkumbini River are known for a particular variety of sung epic poetry. Many of them are about Skanderbeg, a legendary 15th Century warriors, led the fight against the Turks, and the "Albanian constant themes of honor, hospitality, treachery and revenge." These traditions are a form of oral history for the Ghegs, and "preserve and inculcate moral codes and social values" which in a society that until the early 20th Century, on blood vengeance as a "primary means of prosecution." Collections of epics include keng trimash (songs of valor), Keng kreshnikësh, ballads and majestic krahi (shouts). Major epics are Mujo and Halil and Halil and Hajrije.
Most of the traditional variety of epic poetry is Rapsodi Kreshnik (Poems of Heroes). These epic poems are sung, accompanied by a lahuta, a one-string instruments violin. It is rare, in modern Albania, but is in the northern highlands.
Further south, about Diber and Kërçovë in Macedonia, which is not lahuta used, replaced by çifteli, a two-stringed instrument in which a string is used for the drone and the melody. Although men are the traditional performers, with the exception of betuar Vajze të, women were increasingly taking part in epic balladry.

Southern Albanian music is soft and gentle, and polyphonic in nature. Vlore in the southwest has perhaps the most unusual vocal traditions in the region, with four parts (taker, thrower, turner and drone), the creation of a complex and emotionally cathartic melody. Author Kim Burton has the melodies as "decorated with falsetto and vibrato, sometimes interrupted by wild cries and sad." This polyphonic vocal music is full of power, "results from the tension between the immense emotional weight it carries, in the centuries of pride, poverty and oppression, and the strictly formal, almost ritual character of its structure. "
South Albania is also known to complain to the funeral with a choir and one or two soloists with overlapping, mournful voice. It is a prominent folk love song tradition in the South, in which artists use the free rhythm and consonant harmonies, elaborated with ornamentation and melisma.
The Tosk people are known for ensembles consisting of violins, clarinets, Llaut (a type of lute) and def. Eli Fara refugee is a popular artist from Korçë, but Permet the city is the center for Southern musical innovation, production of artists such as Remzi Lela and Laver Bariu. Lela is the special note, founded a musical dynasty that continues with his descendants played a part in most of the major music institutions in Tirana.
Southern instrumental music includes the calm Kaba, an ensemble-driven form of a clarinet or violin alongside accordions and llauts. The Kaba is an improvised and style with melancholic melodies that Kim Burton describes as "both fresh and old", "ornamented with swoops, glides and growls of an almost vocal quality," to illustrate the "combination of passion with restraint; the hallmark of the Albanian culture. "
The ethnic Greek inhabitants of Drop Ulli, have a great music similar to the pentatonic music from Epirus in Greece. This Greek-Albanians have a rougher and more aggressive sound than other forms of Albanian music, and not through the polyphonic complexity, but otherwise the same scales and rhythmic patterns as the rest of the country.
