Summary/Abstract: Тhe proposed research is a part of a larger study and based on personal field materials from the traditional spiritual and material culture of the village of Milkovitsa, Pleven area. Its main purpose is to present vital materials which illuminate a disappearing local culture from the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century. Based on the documentary records and stories of the respondents, as well as through direct observations, an attempt is made to restore and preserve examples of the musical-cultural memory of a Bulgarian village. The paper further observes the connection between the presented Milkovitsa traditions and the culture of other local communities from Bulgaria and the Balkans. Last but not least, the research shows the adaptation of individual examples in the settlement which under the influence of various modern processes gradually enter the repertoire of the population and displace the local traditional musical culture.
