Rather an acquired taste if you don't speak the language, but the idea of somebody semi-freestyling 13000 verse epics is still impressive.
Another fascinating aspect of this is that Međedović was, as far as I know, a life long illiterate! As great as literacy is, it seems to have had detrimental effects on our memorization skills.
