@DenisBourdeau "Disgustingly oriental."
Aaaaaand another moron stuck in 19th century Eurocentric mentality. You're in good hands Denis, ignorant clowns like you are an inside joke on this channel.
As for "only foreigners like it," check the comments and see how thousands of Bulgarians enjoy the music whose "disgustingly oriental" features reach all the way back to Ancient Greek music, making them as natively Balkanic as it gets; a fact I've established time and again through my video essays supported by academic sources. So not only is a medieval spin present in the DNA of this composition, even an ancient, pre-medieval spin is.
@@DenisBourveauMaybe it's terrible for you who can't understand this "disgustingly oriental" song, what an insensitive approach. For Bulgarians and other eastern peoples it is a wonderful familiar sound that is part of our music and delights our ears. Some of you in the West are simply unreal.
@@DenisBourveau The idea that only foreigners like it is ludicrous. There's a whole culture around traditional dances in Bulgaria. It's only disgusting insecure people who think this is "селкса музика", who think is "disgustingly oriental" .it's often people from Sofia whole take lessons in boggie dancing and listen only to retro rock and jazz that a ignorant enough to make that claim.

The bulgarian voices are SO lit! I LOVE their choires. Goes straight through the spine to the heart, gives you goosebumps and somehow even provokes tears.
Pride.
The women choir in the background 🤲🏼💗✨
Ikr, it’s lovely
The majority of Bulgarian Folk songs have a choir in the background, and the majority are women.
@@raynabryaskova8681 it's lovely and atmospheric
A little information on Bulgarian traditional music - it is divided in two categories: dance music and singing music. Dance music is only melody with no singing (like the one in this video). It is played for the traditional Bulgarian (and broader Balkan) dance styles called khoro. As for the singing music, it is only singing with no background music - usually a choir (either female or male; very rarely mixed). The choir is composed of several different groups that sing together but usually different part of the lyrics. The singing features great variety of harmonisations and styles to create different feelings - that’s why there’s no background music. The lyrics are much varied. Some are concerned with narratives about men and women who are doing something (it doesn’t have to be ‘heroic’ - there’s a song about a maiden who’s digging a well; another about a maiden fighting with tricks a dragon etc.). There are also lyrics about animals behaving like humans (for example horses proposing a marriage to a girl’s father). Also songs about real historical figures whose lives merged into mythologised stories- like songs about the Bulgarian emperor Ivan Shishman and his sister Kera Tamara. And finally there’re lyrics about mythological beings- dragons, fairies, vampires, ghosts, Moirai, etc. Mixed songs - melody and singing, were traditionally rare but emerged popularly in the late 19th century and the 20th century. My personal favourite Bulgarian song, which I recommend everyone to listens to, is ‘Bre, Petrunko’ - it is a story about a maiden called Petruna who is the best dancer in her village and says that whomever outdances her she will marry. So she goes around villages and cities to dance and no one can outdance her ever, until she meets a young man and they start dancing and he manages to outdance her. (I’m Bulgarian but in no way a professional researcher of Bulgarian music, this is only the basics!)

This s soooo good, amazing ,refreshing and jolly. One of your best Bulgarian themed music. Thank you. It is like the Asenevtsi shout “we have independence “ over the top of the mountain.
A Slavic banger, well done sir
that lion (or other big cat) in center looks so happy
Which doesn't make sense considering the number of blind bulgars...
@@thanos_karagiannhs5320
This is asen dynasty from the Second Bulgarian Tsardom. Blind soldiers were from the first Bulgarian Tsardom.
@@thanos_karagiannhs5320
Also it's normal to be happy, Asen dynasty had a field day with everyone on the Balkans, with Crusaders too.
@@thanos_karagiannhs5320 Then again those 15,000 Roman's in Varna seem pretty blind underground.
@@thanos_karagiannhs5320 But it gives them a big smile after Kaloyan the Roman slayer avenged them 😁
Respect and love to our brothers 🇷🇴✝️🇧🇬
Any chance you could do an Epic Talking video about Bulgarian women's choirs? I can across a vid of a pianist trying to work out the harmonies, who was both impressed and confused as he couldn't figure out the micro-tonalities 🙂
The "anonymous arab traveler" who recorded the coat of arms of Bulgaria that is used in the video turns out to actually be an immortal iranian man with a spanish-speaking, cat familiar spirit.
Thank god farya invented music
Awesome keep up the good work! Much love from Bulgaria
Thanks man! It's like being in a cloudy and dark Tŭrnovgrad, just in the crowd before st. Dimitŭr's church, seeing the three Asen brothers lifting the icon of st. Dimitŭr Solunski, surrounded by the bolyars and proclaiming the tsardom's restoration, and shortly after the bishop crowning Petŭr as tsar... and the rest is history. The recognition by Rome, the overtaking of tsar Kalyan the Romanslayer of the Balkans, and the glorification of Bulgaria by tsar Ivan Asen II as "third Rome", being the only autocephalous independent orthodox Patriarchy in the world by that time.
Fire! Just like the rest of your Balkan music (and music and general)! I’ve been watching your stuff since I found Hikanatoi 2 years ago and I’ve been enjoying it all ever since! 👍
Nice, I really love the bass sounds in this one😊
A great piece of music about that time that Romanians worked with our Bulgarian brothers to gain independence from the Byzantines!
Слава България! 🇧🇬🇧🇬
@@InAeternumRomaMater You need to read some real books. The Vlachs were north of the Danube, and your leaders were Bulgarians... You used the Bulgarian cyrillic script and Bulgarian Old Church Slavonic by your official leaders. You have no evidence to claim the revolt was a Vlach revolt. The 13th century was short lived and Bulgaria at the time was at war with Serbia, and soon came the Ottomans, and your story ends in the 13th centry.
@@dayanbalevski4446 Our leaders were Bulgarian? What are you smoking?
@alexandru4193 your leaders spoke Bulgarian and used the Bulgarian Cyrillic alphabet. I didn't say they were Bulgarian, but they probably were atleast half Bulgarian.
@@dayanbalevski4446 So, what are you trying to prove exactly? I've seen many Bulgarians (and at some extent Serbs) trying to erase Romanians' identity by saying that we spoke their language until 200 years ago and suddenly decided to change it into a Latin one. Not only is this an extremely retarded take as it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever for an ethnic group to do that all of a sudden; but it's also stupid considering there's no proof of that happening. Absolutely none. And just because Old Church Slavonic was used as official and liturgical language it means nothing. Many countries have done that in the past, using lanugages they deemed as more ''cultured'' for official affairs. This doesn't take away the fact that most people didn't speak a damn of Old Church Slavonic (or as you call it Bulgarian). They spoke Romanian, unless they were part of a Jewish minority and they spoke Yiddish, or they were part of a Hungarian minority and spoke Hungarian, or Germans speaking German, etc. We have no history with you since the Second Bulgarian Empire fell. Our histories separated from that point, and it was a thousand years ago. Get over it. And no, our leaders weren't ''half-Bulgarian'', they were fully Romanian, unless we're speaking of the Greek phanariote rulers or the German kings we've had since our country unified. Apart from that, all Romanian.
Another great song to make my day! Thank you Farya for your amazing work!! This does make me wish we knew what the secular Bulgarian music sounded like back then. Orthodox chants are great, but I am sure there are many songs and musics that represent the culture at the time.
Beautiful, greetings from 🇧🇬 Браво!
Yoooo im from Bulgaria, thanks a lot❤
After a long day, these songs bring me back.
Huge respect for this interpretation of of great Bulgarian music tradition! ❤ 🌹🌹🌹❤
What wonderful music my dignified Thracian Slavs!
thats an amazing song! I really enjoy the bulgarian music you make on your channel
Really good! sounds authentic
My mother is from Thrace Greece and this sound resembles the ones I grew up with and a lot for greek songs from Thrace too :)
Thank you :)
I hope brothers and sisters across borders and in Bulgaria of course enjoy this music :)
Bulgaria is a beautiful country with really interesting music, that we share so much with.
Loved your video essay on Greek music. If you ever do one on the female choirs of Bulgaria, I would be there day one. Their sound is amazing.
A Bulgarian banger, truly amazing
Great work! 🇧🇬❤️
ДА ЖИВЕЕ БЪЛГАРИЯ! СЛАВА НА НАШАТА РОДИНА🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬
Bulgarians were great warriors and great empire. We had many wars over key players on Balkans. We spoke similarly, had same religion and very similar genetic. Better to be United! Respect and love to Bulgarian from Serb! Together we are stronger and Ottomans would never be able to defeat us if we were more United! 🇷🇸🇧🇬☦️
So beautiful 😊
I'm a bit late but awssome work as always Farya! I would really like to see you do a cover of a Serbian song called "Christ our Lord" I think you will do an amazing work! As always thank you for showing love to our country ♥️

Another great piece, Hvala! Always wondered if you will make music reffering Kapitan Petko Voivoda (tho the YAKU version is just phenomenal, wondered what will be your approach).
When you get slapped by the Roman Emperor so you form a second Bulgarian Empire to troll the Romans

I love eastern Europe musuc, Balkan, Anatolia, Slavic, Greek,
Why does that music kinda remind me of caucasian music I heard on a wedding of a Pontiac friend I went last year? Is there a similarity or something? Or just the hijaz+12/8 rythm?
Day 1 of asking for a video essey about bulgarian woman choirs/traditional music.
What scale/mode is used in this song?
Minor and Double Harmonic Major
Can you make a Persian song with Khorasani accent?❤

Have you tried to compose, and sing, in georgian polyphonic style? Chris
What about Volga Bulgaria?
It no longer exists, Fayra can probably dig up few songs from their time but it will be somewhat messy and to find.
It became Tatarstan
@@papazataklaattiranimam it was exterminated and enslaved by the Golden Horde and the Mongols to the point of no return. The people of Kazan are as Avar/Kazar/Bulgar/Altay/Seljuks as they currently feel at the moment and don't have any national/cultural heritage or common mindset to fulfill the most basic requirements for etho existence.
And last but not least “Tatar" is a pseudo word invented by the Russian Empire to concentrate all of their unwanted minorities within a single basket for socio-political convenience. The Chukchi are as “““Tatar””” as the Crimean Turks and they are not even “Turkic” to begin with.
The name of the dynasty comes from one of the brothers, namely Asen I. The etymology is of Cuman Turkic origin, derived from "esen" which meant "safe, sound, healthy" and the Belgun nickname seems to be derived from Turkic "bilgün", which meant "wise". Further support to this connection can be found in the charters of the Great Lavra of Mt. Athos from the end of the 12th century, which mention the monastery's problems with some of the Cuman stratiotes, where "Asen" is listed as the name of one of those Cumans.
Other study shows that the only name that makes sense is änish ("descent") and the word can be found almost exclusively in the languages of the Kipchaks.

Slavs are Indo-European people, you cannot make history by distorting it be satisfied with the same Turkish dynasties

They were Vlachs .This is known🤷♂️
@@Alin-ro6jb Vlasi is correct term,and according to Srbija Global,Vlasi are from Balkan.And are serbs,by the way Helm is real name of "Balkan".Oops,i forgott to mention,the name of Vlasi comes from slavic god Veles.Veles is god of cattle hearders,and variation of Veles name are,Veles,Voles,Vales,Viles,Vules,and Vlasi is sometimes called Vlosi.Exept for Vlaji,they are just uncivilized croatian hillbilies without sence of morality,and logic.
At first with that name i thought it was some Iranian Music 💀
Because Asens Vaguely sounds like something from Iran.
Proto bulgars were skytho-tocharians(yezhi)so is true influence of kushan empire

Respect to the people of Slavic origin, if we read the history we will see that we Iranians and you have common roots, we love you❤
Not quite,you see slavic DNA is R1A1,and slavs have brown hair and brown eyes.And i bet that iranians have different DNA,even so i don't know wich it is.But about slavic DNA i can tell,that it's created in 16000BC,and that slavs lives in europe since 8676 BC,you can see more in videos Slava True Story Of Slavic Glory,and Slavs For 10700 Years In Europe.And even so only few iranians share slavic DNA,most conections between slavs and iranians are Words,Toponyms,Symbols,and three ancient slavic emperors.And here few facts,on planet earth,their are 4470 serbian toponyms,like Sarbo,Serbo,Sirbo,Sorbo,Surbo,and others,you can see more in videos from Edusrbin youtube channel.This toponyms were discovered by serbian writer Milos Milojevic,in 19th century.And my favorite part,amoung long list, are three slavic emperors,wich has come from Slavic Vinća CIvilization.And theirs names are Nino Belov,Serbo Makeridov,and Aleksandar Karanović.The first emperor Nino Belo, has lead first qonquest of slavic aryans into india,in slavic year of 3454,and has created slavic empire called Asuria.And in slavic year of 2008,slavic aryans from poland has builded Arkaim,and migrated to India,and it was this trail,that all three slavic emperors has follow.Then in slavic year of 4208,second slavic emperor has apear,his name was Serbo Makeridov.And he has created second empire,in the same frontiers as Nino's empire,and named it Serbo Rashka Empire.Serbo Makeridov was a person of such greatness to the slavs,that Serbian People has named them selfs after Serbo Makeridov.And the last emperor on this list is,Aleksandar Karanović,known as Alexander the greate.He to has created big empire,but it was much smaller than other two._Now here slavic time line for you.1.In 5508BC Slavs are counting their own calendar.2.In 2008 Slavic aryans from poland migrate to India.3.In 3454 Nino Belov apear.4.In 3908 serbs migrate to libya and create state that will last 700 years.5.In 4208 Serbo Makeridov apear.6.In 5152 Aleksandar Karanović apear.7.In 5458 Roman Empire apear.8.In 5508 Jesus was born.9.In 6458 Roman Empire collapses.10.In 6938 Tower of Smederovo was build.
Well, you don't know about the genetic characteristics of Iranians. The r1a1 genetic code in many Iranian people is the origin of the template, for example, in Tajiks it is 45%, in Persians 21% in Pashtuns, 60% in Kurds, 20% in between. Some Zoroastrians are up to 90%, and I consider that to be the common root.
Regarding the Aryans, I must say that the first person in history who called himself an Aryan was Darius the Great, and for the first time in historical inscriptions he called himself the son of an Aryan
And remember that this is not the only racial identifier in Aryans, Aryans also have other genetic identifiers.
Our focus is on the common root, we don't say that Slavs are Iranians or Iranians are Slavs, our discussion is the common and primary root that you can find out by putting the pictures of Aryan people together.
@@Jasmin.M-hz5ty
@@Superhuman0 I will make this simple,word Aryan/Arijevci comes from slavic word Aria,and people from Aria was Arijevci.Their was even place in Russia,called Volga Aria.And serbian god of war and hunt was called Arion,from whom Arijevci/Aryans were named.And Arijevci/Aryans was serbian tribe of hunter gatherers,organised into first slavic military.Thus ARYANS ARE SLAVIC PEOPLE,becouse people has allready prove that.
@@Jasmin.M-hz5ty The word Arya was used for the first time in the 6th century BC in the Biston inscription of Darius I, this is the oldest historical document about the word Aryan, Herodotus also writes in his historical notes about the Medes, "All these Medes in ancient times They called Aryan. Aryan means noble and civilized, which Iranians proved many times. You can see science, philosophy and human rights in Persian Empire
In his inscription, Shapur II introduces himself as follows: I am the king of the Aryans
@@Superhuman0 I agree with you. At least old Bulgars most probably have Persian roots. Same as Sanskirt and Lithuanian have similar roots. Only ignorant people will deny all the Indo-European route. Same with the Magyars and Finns. Why do Finns have "Asian" eyes?
