>From: IED0DXM%OAC.UCLA.EDU@MITVMA.MIT.EDU > On another Kate-related note: Trio Bulgarka, the trio of >female Bulgarian folk singers who are currently on tour in the >U.S. with their parent-group, the Radio Sofia/Bulgarian National >Women's Choir, appeared tonight on the NBC late-night show >_Michelob's_Sunday_Night_. >They sang three songs, including _Strati_Angelaki_, of which Kate >recently said: "If they sing _Strati_Angelaki_ to me I can't >take it. I have to leave the room. It just makes me cry; and there >are very few things musically that affect me like that." > Incidentally, the Trio Bulgarka's latest album (and their >first on their own in the West), called _The_Forest_is_Crying_, is >out on CD (the Hannibal label). It is incredibly neat. The news about _The_Forest_is_Crying_ being on CD is very welcome. I looked for it in the shops over here about a month ago but could only find the vinyl version. I will now have another look. About that time, however, I did get hold of a copy of "Balkana - The Music of Bulgaria" on CD: also on the Hannibal label. This features the soloists and musicians of Radio Sofia, including Trio Bulgarka, Yanka Rupkina solo, and several male singers and musicians. The track _Strati_Angelaki_ is included on this disc. It is well worth a listen for a slightly wider range of Bulgarian music. One word of warning - on my copy the running order on the disc did not correspond with the sleeve notes. Be seeing you Neil.
