Summary/Abstract: Through rhythm-typological analysis and cartography the author has detected a similarity in the typological structure of early traditional musical forms belonging to agricultural and wedding genres on the territory which unites Ukraine, Belarus (within its ethnic area at the beginning of the 20th century), Eastern Poland (the Vistula river basin), and Lithuania (Dzūkija and Aukštaitija).. This concerns several dozen song types, composed of items from a common grammatical base, forming the UkrainianBelarusian-Polish early-traditional melo-massif ‒ UBPEM. These types share interethnic (2-4-lingual) areals, which do not correlate with linguistic ones.
