Bulgarian folk music has many friends worldwide. They form groups and learn Bulgarian songs and dances. Gega New has already presented one of them – “Topolovo” Orchestra from France (GD 148). We continue this initiative by releasing a CD of yet another group – BALKAN TRANSIT, Denmark The group was formed in 1988 in Aarhus. Its five musicians learn Bulgarian songs and melodies with great love and enthusiasm. They are assisted in their work by famous Bulgarian musicians. They especially appreciate their collaboration with Yanka Rupkina, Manol Mihailov and the kaval player Stoyan Velichkov. This program is a result of their cooperation.
Recorded in 2004-2006 at Future Force Audio, Viby J., Denmark, and Breve Studio, Sofia, Bulgaria
