The study of gramophone records is important when acquainting oneself with
Mijat Mijatovic (1887-1937), who strongly impacted so-called folk music in
the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes / Yugoslavia, considering the
importance of the records he released during his career. His opus of
commercial recordings is the largest of the interwar period in the area and,
therefore, it is highly indicative when considering the correlation between
the early music industry and ?local? culture as a glocal topic. In this
study we present numerous sources and a complex critical analysis that
resulted in Mijatovic?s discography. Special attention has been paid to
record companies, the chronology of recordings, the repertoire and
collaborating musicians, thus mapping the potential of discography for the
study of recorded music and cultural history.
