about

A diaphonic frolic song from Kyustendil, Western Bulgaria. Learnt with Prof. Svetla Stanilova, in Plovdiv. The shepherd plays his Kaval flute, up in the forest, when he hears a maiden singing, in the valley below. He takes his herd down, to graze on the virgin pastures and drink of the purest water… And so, a first love is consumed.

lyrics

Овчар свири горе ю гората,
Мома пее доле ю полето
Тука има вода непиена
Тука има...мома нелибена

Де я зачу овчар ю гората
Сведе стадо доле ю полето
Сведе стадо доле ю полето
Напасе го с’трева непасена

Напасе го с’трева непасена
Напои го с’вода непиена
Напои го с’вода непиена
Па залиби… мома нелибена

Zesty irregular rhythms, stirringly close harmony & the evocative voices of Tui Mamaki (French), Chelsea Prastiti (Greek) & Siobhan Grace (Samoan) / Sally Howe (Cook-Island), make this a rare and compelling musical moment!
