Re: Bulgaria

Yes, it is very beautiful indeed. And very sad. It is one of my favourite pieces of music. I recommend the version by Kanarite, a famous Bulgarian folk music group. It is on their 'We, The Bulgarians' CD from 2000. It is the fifth track on the CD and lasts 7:44, and should be played with the fourth track.

On that CD, the track is called 'Kitka', but appears to be a compilation of four songs called 'Biala Maria', 'Kalimanku Denku', 'Enichari', and 'Barem Se Ergen Nahodih'. I got those names from translating the Bulgarian Cyrillic into English. I have tried to find the Kanarite version on You Tube to post here, but without success.

I have many Bulgarian friends, and have been to Bulgaria many times, hence my knowledge of this piece of music.
