Albanian iso-polyphony is a captivating and ancient form of vocal music that hails from Albania, particularly from the southern regions. Characterized by its complex harmonies and multi-part singing, this genre typically involves a combination of lead melodies (songs), drone sustains (iso), and counter-melodies that intertwine in a rich, textured sound. The music is often performed a cappella and is marked by its emotional depth and communal spirit, reflecting themes of history, nature, and existential human experiences. Prominent groups and artists such as Grupi i Lunxherisë, Lab Polyphonic Group, and Djemte e Vlores uphold the tradition, showcasing its unique blend of timbres and cultural resonance.
