Rhodope Folklore




ABOUT THE TREASURE
People in Bulgaria sing and dance, tell legends, live with the heritage of centuries, expressing joy, sorrow, prayers through words, dance and melodies. In the Rhodope, the mountains of mythical hero Orpheus, the songs and dances are unique. This is the place where everybody plays an instrument and sings. This is the land of the song Izlel je Delyo Haidutin [Out Came Delyo Haidouk] which flies in space to be heard by all. This is where you can listen to the Hundred Rhodope Kaba Bagpipes, where both children and adults play. The women singers of the village of Gela and of Shiroka Luka will sing to you about the love, kindness and strength of the Rhodope people. Come to the Rozhen meadows and you will see the beautiful infinite horo chain-dances – the traditional dances of the Bulgarians. All of the folk performers are dressed in colourful national costumes, decorated with blue beads and red embroideries. This is a treasure which is not just discovered like that. Only when you open your heart to it will you be able to feel and experience it.
