Dance of the Asens - Epic Slavic Music of Bulgaria

Music by Farya Faraji. Please note that this isn't reconstructed medieval Bulgarian music, only modern music. The melody is modeled after Thracian melodies in triple meter, and the instruments used are the kaval, the gaida, and a saz, with percussions.

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.

Bulgaria/Thrace do be having some whimsical music, I quite enjoy this

[Antimonum]

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.

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 🙂

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! 👍

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.

[kristiangg]

thats an amazing song! I really enjoy the bulgarian music you make on your channel

[tradorthobrodyermanduginpageau]

As a Macedonian Bulgarian, I approve.

I can't believe I have been missing out on this amazing piece! As a Bulgarian, I am very grateful that you covered some of the music culture of our country! Keep up the good work and much love!

Много Ви благодаря! Наистина голяма работа е!🇧🇬

Insanely good. Love the fact that people from outside Bulgaria not only enjoy our music, but are inspired to pour their talent into making music like this track right here. Much love for you, Farya!

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.
