Bulgarian folk music

Bulgarian music is part of the Balkan tradition, which stretches across Southeastern Europe, and has its own distinctive cosmic sound. The Trachians ( ancestors of the Bulgarian nation) had knowledge of cosmic music, brought by Orpheus, who was born in the Bulgarian Mountain Rhodope.Furthermore, they were aware of the mathematical theory of sounds.This is the Key for the wide variety of folklore sounds and music and the distinctive voices in Bulgaria today.Traditional Bulgarian music has had more international success than its neighbors due to the breakout international success of Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares, a woman’s choir that has topped world music charts across Europe and even farther abroad.
