Performing Democracy - Bulgarian Music and Musicians in Transition

Zusammenfassung Based on fieldwork conducted between 1988 and 1996 with professional Bulgarian folk musicians, this book argues that the performances of traditional music groups may be interpreted not only as harbingers but also as agents of Bulgaria's political transition. It features traditional Bulgarian music, lyrics, notation, and photos.
