That’s really fascinating about the folk music. I understand there have been major losses of life in most countries in this part of the world, in some cases not so long ago.
My adopted son’s biological dad lives in Serbia and I believe he lived through conflict during the early 90s. A staggering number of people died in that period. I’m fairly sure that living through something like that in my early life would have dramatically changed my outlook on life and my behaviour in society.

It even affects your gene expression and can get passed down several generations; People have biological traces of trauma that they didn’t experience first or second hand. My favorite curse is, “may you live in interesting times.” I’ve heard it ascribed to Jewish origins but the Wikipedia article mentions possible Chinese origins. In any case, many people initially take it as a complement or a blessing. It’s usually not :)
