The record label says:
Rumen SIRAKOV - tambura
The Bulgarian musical folk tradition includes a variety of musical instruments. The different folk regions feature different instruments and this is especially evident in recent times, when part of them have been replaced with the so-called 'modern' instruments. Along with the old ones, these modern instruments have already become part of the Bulgarian musical folklore. The wide variety of instruments used has inspired GEGA NEW to begin releasing this series called "MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS IN BULGARIA". Each release of the series will present a separate instrument.
This album is the first of a new series in which Gega New presents all musical instruments used in Bulgarian folklore, featuring instrumental tunes, horos and rachenitsas from all regions of Bulgaria.
The tambura is one of the most widely spread musical instruments. Rumen SIRAKOV is without doubt the best performer of tambura. At the moment he is soloist of the folk music orchestra of the Bulgarian National Radio and he has also played for many years with the popular Thracian Troika group. He has also played for the Balkana Folk group, and with Trio Bulgarka. They have been together on a number of tours in Europe, Asia and the USA. The present CD includes part of his most-popular instrumental melodies, horo dances and rachenitsas.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
