Vinko ¿ganec (January 22, 1890 – December 12, 1976) is a well-known Croatian ethnomusicologist. ¿ganec was born in Vrati¿inec in Me¿imurje. He started to be interested in music early in his childhood and jotted down his first folk song in 1908. In 1916, he published his first book of Croatian folk songs from Me¿imurje. Later he extended the work to cover the Bunjevci Croats in Hungary and Croats from Gradi¿¿e in Austria. He studied theology and later law, becoming a Doctor of Law in 1919. The famous composer and ethnomusicologist Béla Bartók kept in close contact with him while collecting folk songs along the border of Hungary and Croatia. Bartók respected ¿ganec because of both the accuracy of his research and the notation.
