Lithuanian folklorist From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vincas Basanavičius (August 1, 1861 Ožkabaliai – April 23, 1910 Ožkabaliai) was a Lithuanian farmer and folklorist, the brother of Jonas Basanavičius.[1][2]
Vincas was primarily a farmer. He had close relations with his brother, and sent his recordings collected around Ožkabaliai and Bartninkai to Jonas for publishing. He collected 700 works of folk tales, 150 songs, and 134 riddles.[2]
The former pantry room in the Jonas Basanavičius House Museum in Ožkabaliai holds the permanent exhibition of the works of Vincas.[3]
