"BULGARIE, DU DANUBE AU BALKAN, ANTHOLOGIE DE LA MUSIQUE BULGARE. Vol. 5"

Le Chant du Monde

This is the fifth and last recording of a very complete anthology of traditional Bulgarian music. This CD includes about thirty pieces belonging to some forms of Bulgarian folklore typical of the northern regions. Some of the themes are instrumental, whereas others include canticles. Flutes and bagpipes of peculiar sounds and characteristics are heard, amongst other typical instruments. Bulgarian traditional music is very complex, due to the great diversity of the cultural influences that the Bulgarian people have received throughout their history. In certain cases, it is easy to guess the origin of a given musical element, but in others it turns out to be very difficult to imagine it.
