Map explanation:

Region featuring drone two-voice singing, both male and female. This type of singing mostly refers to the older layer of rural singing, including the rite singing.

 
In this region, besides the two-voice drone singing, a three-voice drone singing also appears, but only concerning the male singing: one voice leads the main melody, the second voice is an immobile drone, and the third one is a mobile drone, which creates the three-voice singing.


The female singing in this region is characterized by two-part songs, where the first part is one-voice singing, and through the second part a drone two-voice singing appears, with developed upper melody.
