'Bulgarian Folk Dances'

Label - Gega New, Bulgaria

From record label:
In the Bulgarian folk tradition instrumental music performs a specific function - to accompany the horo dances played on Sundays or at public holidays in the village square. In Dobroudja, for example, the typical horo dances Opas, Sborenka, Ruka, Tropanka, etc. were accompanied on kopanka or bagpipe, and in more recent times, by three concertina-, kopanka- and bagpipe-players. In the Pirin Mountains region the horo dancing used to be accompanied on tambouras, tarambukas, or zournas (in the southernmost parts). In Thrace the favourite instrument is the kaval. 

In more modern times the clarinet, the violin, and accordion were introduced, enhancing the progress of instrumental music. On this CD you can hear equally brilliant virtuosos on both traditional and the so-called "modern" instruments.
