2nds and 7ths. 

3rds and 6ths are the dominant intervals for parallels in tonal harmony.
The favored Bulgarian intervals are "dissonances" to Western-trained ears.

Question: What is the title of the album that the Trio released on Ryko?
          I've lost my Ryko catalogue, and can't remember. It wasn't a
          reissue of "The Forest Is Crying," was it? I know that album
          was released on Hannibal, but I'm trying to find the Ryko one.

Unsolicited Opinion: the Trio ranks (in my mind) with Nusrat Fateh Ali 
          Khan as true masters of the human voice. They never cease to
          astonish me.
