The Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices, a mid-80s recording, introduced the wider world to the plaintive, haunting sounds of Balkan singing. We’ll hear that original recording, and hear its influence in the music of Belgian composer Nicholas Lens and the English rocker Kate Bush.
Then we'll listen to some Bulgarian (and some Macedonian) music sung by Brooklyn's Balkan vocal quartet, Black Sea Hotel. Plus, something from world music jesters 3 Mustaphas 3, and more.
PROGRAM # 2971, Balkan Voices (First aired on Tues. 8-25-09)
