“MYSTERIOUS” BULGARIAN SINGING

Bulgarian singing is one of the great cultural wonders of the world! In1980 an album called “Le Mystères de Voixs Bulgares,” a compilation of performances by several vocal groups from Bulgaria, introduced the world to truly unique Bulgarian (so-called) “open-throated” singing. These astounding vocalists inspired generations of Americans to pursue the art of Bulgarian singing.  In this video we meet the “Bulgarian Voices” as much of the United States did in the early ’80s — with a mesmerizing Bulgarian vocal performance on “The Tonight Show.” In this video, a more recent performance of the Bulgarian folk song “Kaval Sviri,” we can still see what all the hubbub is about.
