Bulgarian Folk

Bulgarian Folk music is a vibrant tapestry of haunting melodies and complex rhythms, originating from the heart of the Balkans. Characterized by its distinctive asymmetric meters and the evocative sounds of traditional instruments like the gaida (bagpipe) and kaval (flute), it captures the soul of Bulgarian cultural heritage. The genre's powerful vocal harmonies, often performed by women's choirs, weave ancient stories and communal spirit into every performance, creating a timeless connection to the past.
