Balkan Folk

daz · 02-22-2009, 10:23 AM

Thanks Stu, for introducing Beirut, it sounds a bit folk (like indie folk, if I described it right), I definitely hear the traditional elements too.

I like Le Mystere des voix Bulgares, but it's kind of different from Beirut, like Demonoid said it's centered on the female vocals. It's more of a female choir. I've got a recording of Village Music of Bulgaria, also mainly female vocals, singing with a more nasal voice (I'm guessing that's the more authentic sound?). It's great too, you should check it out.

But they are pretty different from Beirut, hope you like it anyway

Since I started this thread I've delved into this area quite deeply. A Hack and a Hacksaw are indeed very good. I was particularly taken with Taraf de Haïdouks, they are superb. I've really embraced Bulgarian Folk music in particular, and have around three compilations full of the stuff. Thanks for all the suggestions, belated I know, but I will be looking to check them out.
