In our ‘speed pod’ mini-series of quick insights into music and culture from around the world, we talk to music industry professionals about the music of their homeland, to give us a view into different music, composers, sounds and instruments which make music both unique and universal. This time, we will be talking to Polyarts Associate Manager: Artists & Projects Eva Pires to tell us more about the sounds of Bulgaria. Eva tells us about what influences there are on Bulgarian music and the importance of folk, stories and the landscape on creating these special musical compositions, the musical sounds associated with the country including unique musical instruments used by shepherds, in wedding bands and a unique style of ‘throat’ singing, and introduces us to several Bulgarian composers and musicians and Ethno Jazz.
