Da li je ojkanje najstarija sacuvana forma pevanja koja potice sa balkana iz vremena neolta ili možda čak i paleolita? Da li je ova vrsta pevanja vezana za I2a haplogrupu, jer ovakvo pevanje nalazimo i na Sardiniji i u Irskoj i u Estoniji?

In the mountains of the Balkans we find a peculiar type of „old style” singing which can only be compared with the howling of wolfs. The singing can be solo or group singing. If it is done in a group it has the same polyphonic characteristics as the howling of a wolf pack. In Serbian it is called „ojkanje”. The center of this musical tradition seems to be in the area of the Dinaric alps and in the Balkan mountains.

We can find similar type of old style singing in Sardinia, Ireland and Estonia and Georgia. But the singing seems to become less animal and more human like, the further away you go from the Balkans.

How old is this type of singing? Is this maybe the oldest, the most primitive type of singing which dates from the time when people still learned from the animals? Is this neolithic or maybe even paleolithic singing? Why is this type of singing so concentrated in the Balkans? Is it linked to any particular genetic tribal group? It is interesting that this type of singing has its epicenter in the Balkans, which is also the epicenter of the I2a haplogroup and that it is also found in Sardinia, another I2a haplogroup hot spot. Is this type of singing linked to the I2a haplogroup tribes?
