Under the importance of oral literature, this thesis presents ethno-philological contributions from the West Herzegovina region, with special reference to the village of Biograci. As the tradition encompassed all the moments of a person's life, from everyday life, the most important events, celebrations, music, dance to difficult tasks and ways of rest, the thesis also describes the church and folk heritage: holidays - Easter, Christmas, St. Jure, as well as significant days of that periods of the year. The close connection of customs with religion is also evidenced by the description of the salutation preserved to this day among the householders after the Holy Mass. Man's creativity and fun were presented through a review of the carnival (Maškare) and the tradition of shepherding, as well as one of the most significant and traditionally richest events in the life of man - weddings. There is also an indispensable part that tradition has touched - man's artistic expression - music. Ganga as almost synonymous for the Herzegovina area, wedding and shepherd singing and lullabies. The thesis is written with the aim of preserving words that have passed and keeping what is left. However, perhaps that ganga from Herzegovina stone will best convey the feeling and pride of the rich cultural heritage of the area.
