We hope you find lots here to discover and enjoy; leave your favorites in the comments. ◆ ◆ ◆ Charmaine Lee, vocalist and composer When I first heard Marcel Cellier’s compilation album “Le Mystère Des Voix Bulgares,” I was struck by the choir’s vocal quality: raw and direct, with a supreme clarity — and unlike anything I’d heard before. In “Kalimankou Denkou,” a powerful solo by Yanka Rupkina is wrapped in rich, cascading harmony, unfolding with organic complexity. This is perfect tonal music, where harmony and melody reinforce each other to convey deep expression. I hope it leads you down a YouTube rabbit hole in the vocal music not only of Bulgaria, but also nearby areas like Albania, Greece, Georgia and Corsica.
