Summary/Abstract: Through this collaboration we aim to portray the image of female beauty as it appears in the songs of the first half of the 20th century of the Slovak communities in the Bihor and Sălaj areas. In this approach, the main object of the research is the traditional Slovak music from Adriana Fúriková’s field collections, conducted in several Slovak villages in Bihor-Sălaj. We will undertake a literary-musical analysis to capture not only what the concept of feminine beauty means in the local collective mentality, but also to show the complexity of Slovak musical folklore.
