The Chams, numerically the smallest group of the three Shküpterian tribes in southern Albania, live in villages far apart from one another, on the coast of the Ionian and Adriatic seas. In 1944 they left West Epirus and were settled between Sarandë and Durrës. Whereas the Tosks and Labs sing almost all types of song in more than one part, and in a specific kind of three- or four-part polyphony including a drone, the Chams exhibit different types of part-singing, among others a peculiar technique intermediate between solo and part-song. Furthermore, in choral songs, strictly solo-singing plays an important part. The tonal structures used by the Chams display a colourful variety not found among the Tosks, who incline to pentatonic structures. The types of rhythm used by the Chams, and their style of delivery, range from a free-moving style, as found among the Tosks, to a controlled and fixed giusto-style, as found among the Labs. An analysis of the vocal style of the Chams should be useful as an aid to understanding southern-Albanian folk song.
