      Oh yes, so stunningly amazing & beautiful Sir! You have an interesting name there. I'm guessing you're from Sri Lanka. I used to work with a Sri Lankan lady with your surname , but i also knew an Indian lady with this surname too. I guess it makes sense, when you think of the history of both Sri Lanka & India & the close geographical logistics. Peace & take care.

They are taught to hate Bulgarians, and they are ethnic Bulgarians, they are taught to be Macedonians and hate Greeks, and only Greeks are true Macedonians. With a mentality like that what hope do we have for peace and unity.

    So I know this is a weird place to get emotional, but hear me out: I live in the US and here no one really talks about the Balkans (or most of Eastern Europe) so I didn't know anything about these countries and their cultures for a long time. At the same time, I'm Ashkenazi Jewish, so the traditional music from my heritage sounds similar to that of the Balkans. I had always just assumed that not many people knew the style of music and that it was dying out. I'm so happy I was wrong. It's amazing to listen to songs that I previously thought where an isolated phenomena, and realize that there's an entire region that gets it. It's been equally cool to hear music from the other side of the world and feel almost at home and familiar.
    I've been trying to lean more about the Balkans recently. It's awesome and y'all have the coolest culture! Anyway, that's it. Have a nice day :)

      That's Great Hannah! My family is from Macedonia and I married an Ashkenazi Jewish woman. Our families always loved and got along well with each other as there were so many shared values and cultural elements. Klezmer sounds VERY much like Macedonian dance music! Our people even look physically alike -- people often puzzled over whether I was born Jewish or my wife was Greek or Macedonian. And Vailis, if you read this, Thank you SO much for this treat!

I remember when growing up in Romania everybody in Bucharest, where I’m from, listening to American/English music, Italian, Greek and some Arabic & Turkish! Anything but native music! Funny thing tho, as soon as many left Romania they suddenly started to listen to their native music! Me, I listen to everything cause I’m music addict ❤️❤️❤️ no music no life

      It's quite great, Hannah, that you've found a kindred cultural spirit at the other side of the world, namely in the Balkans. I know that feeling as well, as I myself feel strangely fascinated and "at home" with the traditional music of several other regions of the world I have little or no connection with. Though, of course, Klezmer and Balkan music do indeed share many similarities.
      In that respect, I would highly recommend watching one Balkan documentary (if you can find it), called "Whose song is this?" ("Чия е тази песен?" in the original). It was made by a Bulgarian woman, Adela Peeva, and it starts almost like a joke - a Bulgarian, a Serbian, a Macedonian, a Greek and a Turk are gathered in a pub in Istanbul. Anyway, the movie is about a song (a melody, actually) that exists in all Balkan countries and, naturally, most people here believe it's purely their own song. So the author sets out on a journey across the region, showing the different songs based on that common melody. Unfortunately, something that could serve to unite us, instead tends to divide us and Peeva demonstrated that with some rather provocative segments during her final demonstrations in Bulgaria and Serbia (i.e. where she and her husband are from, respectively). In any case, what I find interesting about that melody and which I am very sad that Peeva didn't really explore further, is that it's a melody stretching far beyond the Balkans - from Spain all the way to India. And from what I've seen, its origin actually seems to be from the al-Andalus, from the Sepharadic Jews, and from there it seems to have spread east, influencing an Italian Renaissance composer, Boney M's hit "Rasputin" and possibly even the national anthem of Israel. It's quite fascinating!
      Greetings from Bulgaria!

    Greetings from Turkey 🇹🇷 Great work! As a child I spent all my summers near the town of Tekirdag, in the European part of Turkey (Eastern Thrace). I remember the beautiful sea, the endless sunflower fields, and our parents drinking raki (Turkish version of ouzo) at dinner almost every night. There was really something special in the air. I remember going to the “Bulgarian market” in Tekirdag and buying a bootleg Bulgarian print Led Zeppelin record. Every now and then we would hear stories from someone who had either traveled to a Balkan country, or had family there, or something else. Years later I had a chance to visit Athens, Greece but haven’t been able to explore anywhere else, as I’ve been living in far away countries since my twenties. My maternal grandfather’s parents were from Kircali in Bulgaria and Xanthi in Greece; exploring those parts one day is on my bucket list.

      Oh you just sent me back to my childhood as well with that word "raki" im albanian but as you probably should know we have loads of similarities together, the cultur, the food, the religion and many words we still have in our vocabulary that we use.
      The smell of raki is amazing and I rember that year's time when everyone in the neighbourhood would be boiling/preparing the raki all together helping out each-other during the process.
      I don't live in Albania now and haven't been there since 2017 but inşallah if i get residency from the country where im living at the moment the first destination after visiting my precious home will be definitely Istanbul and Cappadocia.
      I also have to mention that we do have similarities with Greece too because Albanians have been emigrating in there for soooooo many many years.

    • @giannisb2721
      @giannisb2721 2 года назад +10

      Raki is relevant to ouzo as much as to arabic arak, italian sabuca and French pastris, in terms of all of them being destilled and anised. But, there is an enormous difference: raki is traditional, and kinda the most consumed alcohol in Turkey. Ouzo is not traditional (a specific person from thessaly founded it in middle 19th century) and it's popular among tourists. The most consumed drink in Greece is wine, like in all of Southern Europe
      Greece, especially if we move away from Northern Greece, is far less Balkan and more southern European than someone would expect

    From choreography point of view it is basically up to 5 dance styles that spread over 11+(1) countries, and even more their regions. Saying this, I just want to stress out on the fact that people living in the Balkans are more similar to one another than one can ever imagine. Brilliant concept, outstanding performance, kudos to that!
