In 1974 our music history professor brought in a record of the Bulgarian ladies and said "This is not part of the class, but you need to hear it." Sublimely fine!
Everyone needs to hear it. I remember about 20 years ago when this group took the US by storm, thanks to John Schaefer in NYC with his program called New Sounds. It is now available only as a podcast.
@@KrampusDerWilde what speakers you got it on? i can hear a bit for sure. its on the border tho for me if that makes sense. it widens the sound no end. like adding saturation etc.
The name of this song is "A kaval is playing" and lyrics are: A kaval is playing, mother, Up-down, mother, up-down, mother. Kaval is playing, mother, Up-down, mother, outside the village. I'll go there, mother, to see it, To see it, mother, to hear it. If it is played by a fellow villager I'll love him from dawn to noon. If it is played by a stranger I'll love him for my entire life.
caught off guard when i realised just how small of a group this is, those super dense harmonies and very "forward" tone make it sound so rich, like it's a much larger choir. love it.
I cannot imagine how you snagged the name "h" but you appear to be worthy of it. Your comment here expresses "spot on", things that are very difficult to put into words.
A lot of their chords are justly tuned, (basically, singing intervals that can be expressed as simple fractions), these make the overtones of their voices align and ring loudly. One of my favourite musical concepts
Well I think its the original that made it popular even tho its a folk song and probably there are bulgarian choir that have sung it. The rest are inspired by it and often foreign people who try to learn it. Some make very good performances but yes its not the same.
The kaval is playing, mother, up, down, mother, up, down, mother. The kaval is playing mother, up, down, mother, below the village. I will go, mother, to see it, to see it, mother, to hear it. If it's a guy from our village I'll love him from dawn till dusk, If it's a stranger I'll love him all my life.
@ivan nikolov never knew that it was this old.ofc it got fckd over by ottomans like so many others,but still.Its not like Romania ,who got merged 3 principality into one in the 19th century.
This is a legacy that should never be lost. If humanity ever faces extinction this is one of the things that should be saved in the archives of our civilization.
This music is not exactly a legacy, but a newly composed and arranged song by Filip Kutev, one of the most productive and inspired Bulgarian musician of the 60-80 years. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filip_Kutev It is inspired by the old traditional songs, but trust me they are way more "rough" than that ...
Thank you for the good words, as a Bulgarian I think , the history of Bulgaria needs to be given the attention that it deserves even more than the folklore, believe me.
@@svetlanadrezgic2672 Bulgaria has a thousand yrs of history , Serbia was constructed as a country much later, not without the help of Byzantium to serve the purpose of knife in the back of the Bulgarians , thus protecting Byzantium of one too strong Bulgaria as a neighbor. As we can see , this works well till the present day .Serbia has committed one of the biggest crimes in history and biggest genocide of the Macedonian Bulgarians for which has never apologized or admitted till present day ,neither has learned anything ,nor grown up ... As for the language, please, one would have thought that you are teachers of the so called North Macedonians 😉- only the Russians and Serbs did not understood that their language and religion are on the bases of the old Bulgarian , although as we read, already some honest Russian academic workers have admitted that 55% of the Russian language is the old Bulgarian and most of the so called ''SLavic'' countries use today (there are no Slavs, there are Bulgarians and their ancestors ).But let's listen to the music.

@@yakilad7746 Actually we don't have anything to do with tatars. Mongol-Tatars (The Golden Horde) came much later trying to conquer Europe during the Second Bulgarian "Ëmpire". There is not much left of them except some 10-20 % currently living in the so called Tatarstan (A name invented by the soviets). The Proto-bulgar tribe has much older history than tatars. Bulgaria on Danube river has slightly different history than the other parts of the tribe.
@@friendlyrobotasmrThracian and Macedonian means a person from the geographical region of Thrace and Macedonia. We have a Slavic culture and language. Just like Amazon, is a region, but today there are no Amazons.
In addition to the singing, which we all agree is out of this world, let's also appreciate the traditional garments which I think are almost equally beautiful. The patterns, the colors, the flowers/headdress, even the shoes, all very elegant and beautiful, and evocative of nature and the Sun. Bulgarian folklore is incredible and massively underappreciated, everyone needs to know about this beautiful culture! I hope these young women are touring the world.
@@marinka1895 You're right, they don't look authentic. Especially the red head coverings look very cheap and basic. It's a shame, they should have used authentic garments for this incredible performance, but maybe they couldn't get or afford them.

its because you are raised listening to western music . when they hear jazz harmony it probably does the same effect on them haha so weird how we have musical pallate the same as food

It’s so fucking hard to find this piece sung correctly with that AMAZING whiny quality and the wavy traditional riff type deal the S1 took at the end. Pure PERFECTION. Amazing, utterly amazing.
Have you noticed that whiny quality you talked about in Slavic folk music in general? The Slovak, Polish, Ukrainian Lemko etc women have this haunting, wild, high pitched whine that sounds fucking amazing. I never heard this until I went to a concert in Slovakia with many folk singers from around Europe... and I noticed that it’s inherent in many different forms of Slavic music. I wonder if there is a name for this style of singing.
I guess you mean 1:47. That part made me feel like I was rising from my seat. Astonishing. It's a bit like a series of "turns" but rhythmically a little different to how turns feature in Western classical music
Try Making a cyborg from the 1995 animated movie: Ghost in the Shell. You'll find the same kind of vocal structures mixed with traditional nuptial Japanese music. It is a masterpiece that was inspired by those Bulgarian folkloric songs. Won't lie, it isn't necessarily easy to approche but you already like this so...
This was a magical performance and Bulgaria is a magical land, I recommend everyone visit, it really is the hidden gem of Europe. So much culture, history, beautiful nature, folklore, food... they have it all.
It is not that hard but you have to practice. Plus we Bulgarians are used to dissonance snd uneven beats. The traditional polyphony in Bulgarian folk songs are in seconds.
This is too amazing. The crazy difficult 5/4 rhythm. The loud, proud dissonances that resolve into haunting perfect 4ths and 5ths, the fearless voices.
I can't understand a single word of the lyrics, but the music, the harmonies, the runs, the trills, the incredible "sounds," all of it just sends shivers up and down, raises goosebumps, and brings a HUGE smile to my face! LOVE THIS MUSIC.
Ha, yes you could fiel it without words, isn't it.It is a joyful song for young, still unmarried girls.A girl wander which boy to choose until a bagpipe plays."Bagpipe plays"=Kaval sviri🎶
@@dalia_mar Fascinating... Crazy how music can be so culturally dependent. To my ears, very little about this sounds joyful, it sounds bittersweet, almost heartbreaking, very dramatic. There is a change around 1:28 but I'm still not sure I'd call it joyful; for the final 30 seconds my ears can't quite decide how I feel lol.
Originally it was Xena Warrior Princess that brought me here, but after doing more research, I am truly smitten by the beauty and conviction of Bulgarian vocals. Such a rich culture!. As a proud Nigerian, I know the value of culture and tradition and I can definitely appreciate that in Bulgarian culture....plus the women in the video are gorgeous....lol
hello ! I'm glad we are all recognising different cultures and countries! I'm glad you have listened to us and I find it amazing how Nigerian culture has been introducing to Bulgarian :)
First time I heard this I cried. Simply beautiful. The melody, chords, emotion and little story… for some reason it just makes me very emotional. A beautiful piece of art.
Ofcourse it will make you sad,cause all bulgarian folklore is inspired by the horrific conditions we used to live durin 500 years of turkish ottoman occupation and slavery....can you imagine what iz like for white beautiful christian girl to be kidnapped and raped from dirty ignorant and illiterate turk muslim....and what humiliation for her family,it is what made a lot of young bulgarians to go in the mountains and become haiduts(freedom fighters and protectors of christians during ottoman slavery)....also many bulgarians are focefuly made to addopt islam😪,many bulgarian children were kidnapped to become jenicaries it is called the blood tax,not to speak for the genocide we were put under......the turks used to kill with no mercy some times tens of thousand of people ......god hates them above all and they will dissappear
@@juanb890 Kaval (a flute-like instrument) is playing, mother, up, down, mother, up, down, mother. The kaval is playing mother, up, down, mother, outside the village. I will go, mother, to see it, to see it, mother, to hear it. If it's a lad from our village I'll love him from dawn till dusk, If it's a lad from the neighboring village I'll love him all my life.
This is more that bulgarian folk. This is truly a "human specie hymn". I can't describe exactly what i feel when i hear these voices, but i can tell that its like hear the voice of the first humans in the world, like the introduction to our complex way that we took in what we call now history. Its like being teleported to these ancient times where towns and cities, or cars and airplanes, countries, science, economy, politics, war, armies, pollution, companies, computers, or all the things that took us away from our natural way of life didn't exist, and only existed rock tools, fire, legends and myths to explain the mysterious natural world, cave paintings and families of humans living in their own clan in a whole unexplored world. I don't know if that explains accurately what i feel but its something like that.

Представи си 100 000българска армия и нейното.....Урааааа!
I'm an Alto and it's so hard for me to maintain a dissonant note pattern against the soprano line. This is so rich and intricate and beautiful!
It is not that hard but you have to practice. Plus we Bulgarians are used to dissonance snd uneven beats. The traditional polyphony in Bulgarian folk songs are in seconds.
@@RositsaPetrovarjp7 oh wow, can you recommend me pieces to further study?
When they modulate to major it reminds me of like some African song, makes me smile uncontrolably
charles cornell introduced me to this ❤❤
I’d give them a floating ovation…just standing would be an insult. This is breathtaking. ❤
This is too amazing. The crazy difficult 5/4 rhythm. The loud, proud dissonances that resolve into haunting perfect 4ths and 5ths, the fearless voices.
Small correction, the rhythm is 9/8, otherwise completely agree they are amazing!
@@fff5081 yes true, it sounds to me like a 5\4 bar and then a 4\4 bar over and over, but 9/8 makes way more sense!
@@priocapt isn’t that mostly a question of notation?
@@mysigt_ you know, that's an interesting point. After all,

Miiiiiiishooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
Utter perfection
1:45 Holy crap, those overtones are insane!
I can't understand a single word of the lyrics, but the music, the harmonies, the runs, the trills, the incredible "sounds," all of it just sends shivers up and down, raises goosebumps, and brings a HUGE smile to my face! LOVE THIS MUSIC.
Ha, yes you could fiel it without words, isn't it.It is a joyful song for young, still unmarried girls.A girl wander which boy to choose until a bagpipe plays."Bagpipe plays"=Kaval sviri🎶
@@dalia_mar Fascinating... Crazy how music can be so culturally dependent. To my ears, very little about this sounds joyful, it sounds bittersweet, almost heartbreaking, very dramatic. There is a change around 1:28 but I'm still not sure I'd call it joyful; for the final 30 seconds my ears can't quite decide how I feel lol.

Grande el misho 🦾
i can’t stop thinking about this
This played at my grandmother's funeral and the instant this started playing, every single person started crying
Originally it was Xena Warrior Princess that brought me here, but after doing more research, I am truly smitten by the beauty and conviction of Bulgarian vocals. Such a rich culture!. As a proud Nigerian, I know the value of culture and tradition and I can definitely appreciate that in Bulgarian culture....plus the women in the video are gorgeous....lol
Perfect comment brother. Salute from a Haitian-American
hello ! I'm glad we are all recognising different cultures and countries! I'm glad you have listened to us and I find it amazing how Nigerian culture has been introducing to Bulgarian :)
Beautifully spoken
Salute from a Nigerian
I have tears streaming down my face
I can’t believe how humanity’s last breath sampled this into the Thallest song of all existence ! Black hole energy 🕳️
This has got to be one of the most perfect songs ever performed
this is what you hear on entering heaven. been listening for hours
Anyone else feel this through their whole body?
Welcome to Bulgarian folklore 😊
First time I heard this I cried. Simply beautiful. The melody, chords, emotion and little story… for some reason it just makes me very emotional. A beautiful piece of art.
What is the story about?
Ofcourse it will make you sad,cause all bulgarian folklore is inspired by the horrific conditions we used to live durin 500 years of turkish ottoman occupation and slavery....can you imagine what iz like for white beautiful christian girl to be kidnapped and raped from dirty ignorant and illiterate turk muslim....and what humiliation for her family,it is what made a lot of young bulgarians to go in the mountains and become haiduts(freedom fighters and protectors of christians during ottoman slavery)....also many bulgarians are focefuly made to addopt islam😪,many bulgarian children were kidnapped to become jenicaries it is called the blood tax,not to speak for the genocide we were put under......the turks used to kill with no mercy some times tens of thousand of people ......god hates them above all and they will dissappear

Kaval (a flute-like instrument) is playing, mother,
up, down, mother, up, down, mother.
The kaval is playing mother,
up, down, mother, outside the village.
I will go, mother, to see it,
to see it, mother, to hear it.
If it's a lad from our village
I'll love him from dawn till dusk,
If it's a lad from the neighboring village
I'll love him all my life.
This is more that bulgarian folk. This is truly a "human specie hymn". I can't describe exactly what i feel when i hear these voices, but i can tell that its like hear the voice of the first humans in the world, like the introduction to our complex way that we took in what we call now history. Its like being teleported to these ancient times where towns and cities, or cars and airplanes, countries, science, economy, politics, war, armies, pollution, companies, computers, or all the things that took us away from our natural way of life didn't exist, and only existed rock tools, fire, legends and myths to explain the mysterious natural world, cave paintings and families of humans living in their own clan in a whole unexplored world. I don't know if that explains accurately what i feel but its something like that.
Your comment is amazing! Yes, this is the voice of nature. Greetings from Bulgaria :)
Oh heavens, the harmonies!
Still the best Version on yt. 👍
Adam Neely brought me here. He's right, this is good stuff.
yes
Bulgarien folklore one of world uniquest things
UNESCO world heritage!
It's not that unique among the folklors of other Slavic nations.
