- The Grammy Award Winners on US TV Show. If you enjoy the bulgarian folklore music, you can support it by voting on Eurovision Song Contest 2007, where Elitsa from Bulgaria will present the song called "Voda" (Water). The event will take place in Helsinki on 10th May (semi final) and 12th May (final).
In all my travels, Bulgaria has one of the most beautiful cultures and is one of the most beautiful places I have ever known.

Bulgaria is also part of Romania.
they're still our blood brothers
@@dumitrusilvian787 Bulgaria is part of Romania? 😂😂😂😂 It could be the other way around. Romania was Bulgarian property never otherwhise.
I am Bulgarian and I thank you so much for this information😊
Why?
Bulgarian culture is so rich that it's hard to explain. You should see, hear, experience it. And only after that, you would be able to understand what it's all about. I'm glad that I was born and raised in that beautiful little country called Bulgaria. :)
@Blarie Actually, no you are very wrong, they’re definitely not. What they are wearing is called носии and that is simply alone Bulgarian culture and comes from the country Bulgaria not the countries you mentioned. Bulgarian national clothing and traditions are very different from Turkish so that what your seeing is all our own. Educate yourself on the culture before you comment false info. This is coming from a Bulgarian :)
@@ivi5114 Absolutely right. 👍👍👍
I would love to visit Bulgaria at least once in my life. One thing that sucks about living in the U.S.A. is the distance to all the amazing countries and cultures in the European continent.
I think there are interesting cultures all over the world......not just in Europe.
I recently traveled to Bulgaria to visit my girlfriend! As a native of Marietta, Georgia it was one of the last places I ever thought i'd visit. But it is a stunning country nestled in the shadows of mountains. The people and the culture are wonderful! I highly recommend you go! It was the best vacation i've taken thus far!
You should. I was born there and lived there for 8 years and its extremely different from the US. :P Make sure to go to Sofia.
I had a flat in London that I let out (I've sold it now). The best tenants I ever had were the most wonderful Bulgarian couple, so honest and friendly that the UK is lucky to have them. They were impressed that I had the album! Seven years later we are still friends.
Yea bro from east to west south to north , from Spain and Portugal to Romania Bulgaria , Lituania , and from Norwey To Greeks
I am an American. Every year our family goes to Bulgaria. We have explored the country from east to west and, after 24 years, we still have much to see. In all my travels i have yet to find a coountry so full of life and filled with such big hearts as Bulgaria.
* big
Now this is skill, discipline and vocal technique. The timing and phrasing is impeccable.
💯% Agree. Most people in the west, find this style and technique of singing so foreign they cannot comprehend the depth of technical skill, phrasing and musicality is imbedded in the arrangements and performances. The jazz feel in the first song is incredible. It rivals the Tonight Show band's swing feel. And anybody who is a jazz'er can hear it.
What the hell... this is beautiful. Respect Bulgaria, I am a simple Czech but when listening to Bulgarian songs I am stuned and I feel like a god... thank you so much
We in Bulgaria have a deep respect for the Czechs, because of the positive cooperation between our two nations in historical sense. The Proshek brothers, who were Czechs, supported our struggles for national liberation, and then were the first investors in the newly built bulgarian Tzardom, helped a lot in building it as modern (for the time) european country. Many blessings for our Czech brothers, may your good people prosper.🤝
Remember folks, Your sister Ukraine is in danger and she needs support. Make temporary space for refugees, and support efforts to supply her. Putins big picture is complete control of the Black Sea, and that means eventually the evil eye of sauron will gaze upon Bulgaria, if he wins this.
BEAUTIFUL!!!! I'm from Saint Lucia, a small island in the Caribbean and fell in love with music from Bulgaria about 10 years ago, just by chance. Truly splendid. The world is a wonderful place! Discover it! Live it!
I'm proud that I'm bulgarian!!!

i 'm proud that you are beautiful

Hell yeah!

I was born in Bulgarian and adopted when I was 9. Would like to visit bulgarian again!
You will come home someday...
Where do you live now?
Bulgaria not bulgarian lol
If only I knew Bulgarian because this is fucking beautiful.
A bachelor grandpa a "red"(drunk) grandpa has flipped his hat upwards - that's the way/ I do that - do thatatatat. Then he got on the horO (a dance with lots of people) - he got on the horO with the young women, and they ran away - that's the way - that's the way ay ay ay. Then they start the whispering. And say Dum (imitating the sound of a drum (playing on the horO) then the next song is about a girl called Theodora, lying under a three, and she was beautiful.
Then the sounds is too fucked afterwords and I can't get the words out of them, cuz the words are too old, and I know the song as Gergana was lying under the three, but you can probably Google it -"Полегнала е Тодора" and translate it.
The last one I can't get at all - it's obviously a translated english song in Bulgarian for fun, so I totally can't use my knowledge of bulgarian folklore, so that's all folks!
I'm bulgarian and i dont understand a single word because it's old bulgarian , but i can feel it all in my hearth !

+Snezhana Mladenova could you tranlete what are they sayng ? please
+tezeu21 = I'm bulgarian like them but I still being not sure what are they saying >~< =
+tezeu21 It's very hard to translate it literally since there are lots of dialect words and exclamations, but basically it's about a bachelor boy who puts his cap (some old-time equivalent of dressing fancy for Friday night out ;)) and goes to dance with the girls (the traditional Bulgarian dances - horo - are usually danced in circle or in a row from many people holding to each other), but they all run away from him (ashamed or something of the sort) except the youngest and most beautiful one. That's for the first song. At 3:22 starts a second one - about a young girl (Todora) who is sleeping under a tree dreaming that her first love has returned to her. At 5:47 starts an American song (Suzanna dont' cry for me) sung in Bulgarian folklore style :D
и как ще стане това според теб? Ти ли ще дадеш пари за развитието на народните ни таланти? Омръзна ми от подобни псевдо патриотични глупави изказвания като това. Ами като толкова те интересува българското защо не внесеш законопроект който да делигира средства от други направления за развитието на българската народна музика, а ми пишеш коментари в Интернет? Я се стегнете малко бе хора, България умира ако не е вече умряла. С гледане на клипчета в популярни американски медии няма кой едно нещо да направи за лечение на болеста. Сега ще ми махнат турското робство от учебниците и ще учат колко упадъчна система е била социализма. По стар български обичай ще завърша със следната цветна и многозначна фраза "да ви ебъ путката майна селска" отправена към вас и вашите потомци

Magic, this is music from another world.
It really is. Another planet...
It makes me so happy and proud to see people appreciate our folklore songs in such a way. I’ve never been someone who’s patriotism extends beyond curiosity and my role as a part of our nation and could never really understand people who strongly believe people have some duty due to their bond with their ancestors but...
Every time I hear this music being sung or played I start crying. Its not that Im wailing though but my eyes literally just start leaking with my nose running and my throat tightening hard and this distinctive feeling i get in the chest... Its like clockwork even when I anticipate it and try to hold it in and I don’t know even why I react so strongly and like a reflex. Its the weirdest sensation... The songs performed here actually are pretty upbeat (as in cheerful) and still have this effect on me but this tone is in fact rather uncharacteristic for our music which is basically defined by being very sad and melancholic - due to our tragic national history. This doesn’t mean they make me cry harder though :D ....but it happens literally the instant I hear them while with these here a few seconds pass before “it” hits me.
I first heard these amazing, beautiful voices in the documentary, "Encounters at the end of the world", and fell in love. Who wouldn't be proud to be Bulgarian? This music is addictive. Greetings from New Orleans, Louisiana!
as a son to a bulgarian mother I'v just to thank the bulgarian people not just for that divine voices and unique music, that delight cuisine that you have. mostly for beeing the only human nation at war world II. Много любов от Израел
I love bulgarian folk and romance music. So talented!
Anyway,if you was want more,say me
proud of being Bulgarian
Me too
Moni Ivanova Reminds me of Ghost in the Shell. I never heard anything like it before. I like it!
Yeah!! You are amazing people!

Moi non plus. :)
So you should be . Beautiful culture . Simply amazing.
When a British record label, 4AD, released two volumes of this music, I felt I had found something so otherworldly and beautiful. How sad that geo-politics keeps our cultures from crossing over, but how delightful it is to 'find' something so refreshing!
my parents had my sister and I listen to this album countless times when we were children - much to our delight! thanks, ladies, for being part of my musical education and still killing it every time I find a new video of one of your performances! lots of love from Brazil!
Saudações da Bulgária!! Seu país também é maravilhoso e possui uma cultura incrível, espero que eu consiga visitá-lo um dia desses. Com muito carinho, um búlgaro apaixonado pelo Brasil🇧🇬💞🇧🇷
Ainda tem o disco? É em vinil?
@@martapelagio9400 creio que temos, mas não é vinil!
wow! hypnotizing! especially Polegnala e todora. amazing! Thanks from an Israeli with Bulgarian roots :)
To this day this remains to be one of the most sampled videos used by music producers. Such talent and pure energy. Proud!
I have no idea what they are saying, but this is beautiful. Just listened to 'Second Song on The Road' by The Mystery of Bulgarian Voices (The violin song actually brought me to it). So beautiful, I could listen to it all day. Love from UK xx (:
I'm Bulgarian and I also have no idea what they are saying T_T
Sannyqua :3 If you don't understand the words then you are no longer Bulgarian, if you ever were.
Извинявай, че не разбирам диалекта... 😒

my parents bought this CD when my sister and I were very young, and played it many times during our childhood, which I can definitely say contributed to my love of choir music and of music from all over the world! beautiful, nostalgic, harmonically amazing! congrats to these fantastic ladies and their incredible culture!
Congrats from your romanian neighbors
these bulgarian ladies give me goose bumps... their awsome voice and spirit are greatly apreciated by this lil' romanian.
I love the bulgarian culture, its so Beautiful and so historical.. i really would like to visit my best friends beautiful country ❤️🫶🏻🇧🇬 greets from zurich
We have great nature and history with different stories and facts and wisdom from them. Im not quite happy with the group of people or countries that sapp much of the fast recovery of the society here but would be long to be described but simple work ethic things and morals, still bulgarians keep something that others not have that much anymore.
I'm so proud to be Bulgarian🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬 I'll protect my country with all my heart
I can never like this video enough. It's way too awe inspiring for words.
+Faun Solo Our songs are very very old ,the Bulgarian root is deep
I am Bulgarian. 😁 I sing too a little. Love it. Bulgarian women. You are the best
I love all three, but the second almost made me cry it was so beautiful.
Made me cry
im half bulgarian but i live in spain, i go there every summer to visit my grandma cause she sings too, this is so beautiful
I was born in Bulgaria and it was so amazing. I wish I could go back to my own country
I did :) Missed it a lot.
it's not like we are in war or something....no matter where you are the longest flight is 15 to 20 hours ...so you are not that far!
The Mystery indeed. hardly to believe this singing could be human. outstanding
Amazing! I'm proud to be bulgarian! ❤
Omg I got goosebumps,listening to this. Greetings from Kosovo
This is amazing! The first piece is mind-blowingly lovely.
Discovered this music when I was getting my first degree in music composition and it remains some of the most beautiful music I have ever found
Proud to be Bulgarian and part of singing camp and sing national songs like those in the video
Perfect intonation all the time, like an instrument ... amaaazing!
So proud to be Bulgarian. Magical place, magical traditions.
Come and spread your culture to Iran!
// Greetings from Tehran!
Same main idea go to the Iran."Spread your culture".Share for the world.
Halandria Ebhenna there are many clues that bulgar culture and ethnicity comes from ancient Persia and bulgars were significant part of Persian culture.
so it will be a comeback actually 🙄
we share same roots with you but almost no one know it

I would listen to this non stop and never get tired..I dig this folklore music😍😍👰
These ladies make me feel so proud of being a bulgarian! Thank you!
Lord, that sound! Strong, proud voices, clear words (although i don't understand them). Harmonies ethereal, rich, powerful. Wow. And I love that it's middle aged women singing - this group is somewhat under valued in American society, so great to see the strength here.
Днес, на 24-ти Май, те изнесоха концерт във Ванкувър. Беше СТРАХОТНО!!!! Всички присъстващи, без значение дали са Българи или не харесаха невероятното пеене, музика за ушите просто. Аз никога преди това не ги бях чувал на живо, и останах исклщчително щастлив. И искам просто да кажа, че който не е, ТРЯБВА ДА ГО НАПРАВИ. Браво на тези Българи.
За този който си търси билети, аз знам че билетите за шоуто във Ванкувър се продаваха и от Ticketmaster, не знам за това в Ню Йорк. Провери в Ticketmaster!
Кофтито е че български момък е ползвал гугле преводач
Everything else aside, as a Bulgarian I think it shows a lot of respect for american culture that they performed a country song after their songs. It takes a lot of work to create such an arrangement for an entire chorus just for this single performance.
I hope this was understood and well received by the audience. What do you think?
I'm speechless, only discovering Bulgarian music now. Please any recommendations are welcome ☺️

music from another dimension🥺❤️🇧🇬✊🏻
Wow, this is so cool. The pitch is so different from anything i've ever heard before. I was told by someone that they actually use quarter-steps or something.
Yes, in Pirin they do - at the end of some songs - I've heard it by out traditional music teacher - Malcheva.
@@VikkaMC not only in Pirin
Bulgarian folk dances are as hard as our music
Just wanted to stop by and add that I'm SO HAPPY to finally have found where this came from!
I first heard it in the masterpiece soundtrack of an otherwise mediocre 2008 videogame: Alone in the Dark. :)
Страхотен глас и песни!Българските народни са едни от малкото уникални песни в световен мащаб.Оценени са и като най-добрите!
Translation:
Great voice and songs!The Bulgarian Folk Music is unique all over the world.These songs are the best!
I love the fantastic sound of 'seconds' interval (G and A) between the two women singing together at the front.
I was at this show, first row, and it was a total surprise for me that they were going to be on...I was a HUGE fan at the time, bought the album...they were amazing!! I've never seen this performance however, since I was at the show 24 odd years ago...
I looked up this group because they sang the theme song and other songs for Xena: Warrior Princess. They are brilliant.
With no backgroung music they make the song on a whole new level
Fantastiche!
People around the globe will be hearing more and more music from Bulgaria! We have a lot to give to the world!
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard
Bulgarian singers have beautiful voices, and their music is also wonderful.
Great musical tradition! It's unusual to find such complex folklore music in any country popular tradition. It's fascinating.
I'm also Italian and really enjoy these women and their incredible voices. The singing gives me chills.
Spectacular!
This is wonderful! I had a cassette tape by them some twenty years ago. It amazing to see their faces and watch them sing. Thank you for uploading. I love the Bulgarian Voices.
"Old Susana" at the end. Great fun! First piece is amazing!
Thanx fer uploading.
amazing tradition of singing!
totally in love with bulgarian folk songs!
@DaddysTaz As a musician and a great aprecciator of world music, I must agree that there are only minimal influences from the oriental cultures like India or Pakistan. Such music is caracterized with pentatonic scales (like the Ragas in indian music) and here we hear different modes and different usage of intervals, harmonies and rythms. Although this version is probably adapted from its older origins, it is tipically bulgarian, and very dinstinct from everything else.
They lean more on, harmonic minor...
These Beautiful voices years later are now gonna join forces in concert with @jacob collier.. amazing
Wow! That first one is mind blowing... the harmonies, at some point they were stacking fourths....how the hell do you do that just a cappella?!!!!
watched them on Nishville jazz festival in Nis, Serbia. i was astonished. still feel the chills! :)
The first song is in 7/8! The same time signature of the closing section of "The Cinema Show", or "Dance on a volcano" by Genesis. It's astounding!
Great point. I didn't see a lot of dialogue above about the odd meters that find themselves as a basis for many Bulgarian songs. Bravo!
AMAZING!
My deepest respect to the Bulgarian way of singing!
Ok random comment here, but when I was a child I watched a show called "Xena the princess warrior" and I think the show used some of their songs or something similar because I remember hearing songs like this and they were all with the choir.
This is beautiful.
Thats very possible because Bulgarian folk songs were used in movies like Troy and 300 too
A good part of the Xena soundtrack indeed consists of Bulgarian folk music and songs, arranged by Joseph LoDuca. Though it wasn't performed by "The mystery of the Bulgarian voices", but rather by LA session singers (with reportedly only one Bulgarian singer among them). Quite impressive, I'd say!
Love you to bits bulgarian irish same💕🇧🇬🇨🇮
This is fucking amazing !!!
"Страна като една човешка длан..." А колко много разнообразна музика, обичаи и наречия... Когато слушам подобна музика винаги се сещам защо съм горд да се нарека БЪЛГАРИН и защо трябва да помня своя род и родина.
At this kind of moments you just feel fucking proud
I`m agree with you my friend. I have the happiness to cross your country, even i spend a lot of time in Romania in Brasov and around. Mangalia, Constanca and many other places ... i meat a lot good and nice people there and i saw the BEAUTY of Carpathians listening CIPRIAN PORUMBESCU ... I fell in love ... in all that i saw there. Be proud with your country.
greetings from Bulgaria
Incredible !!!!
Gorgeous...Absolutely beautiful. Since the first time I heard this type of choir I've been in love. It puts a female voice in a place of such power and beauty at the same time. Wow
This shows that Carson had so much more class than anyone of today's tv hacks.
Very interesting. I knew nothing about Bulgarian music except they're singing happily all the time. There's a community in Portugal where I live. Congratulations!!!
Sooooooo beautiful!!!!!
What an absolutely amazing performance! Oh Suzanna really hit differently! WOW!

He did indeed. I read about it somewhere. The exact song that was the inspiration for the opening theme is called 'Kaval sviri' I think.
@@georgedemirev Kaval Sviri was also used in Xena: Princess Warrior
i have been entranced by the beautiful, exotic sound of this group for decades.
so good to hear them again.
There is so much wonderful culture to enjoy from around the world. We need more of this and less coverage of the latest act to destroy life and peace.
