David Reck, Music of the Whole Earth (1977), p24, shows a shatter
belt
running across Europe, roughly running around the borders of Finland,
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Bukovina, Bessarabia, Thrace,
Albania, Slovenia, Austria, Checkia, and Silesia.

However, Reck fails to state how the music of this shatter belt
differs from Russian and Ukranian music to the east or Mediterranean
music to the south.


Can anyone provide specifics?
