To accomplish this, LMV (Lozan Mubadilleri Vakfı) project coordinators, along with BGST (Boğaziçi Gösteri Sanatları Topluluğu) - Kardeş Türküler, have interviewed 90 emigrants and children of emigrants in parts of Turkey for 8 months and compiled the traditional songs in their memories. The songs appear in Greek, Turkish, Pomaki, Macedonian and Vlach languages. The book provides musical scores to some songs and it also includes a CD in which the interviewees sing some of the songs.
