I used to dance to Kopanitsa in the SF BayArea in the 1960's. Most fun dance, like flying with others around the room. I love the Gaida being combined with the Hurdy Gurdy and the wonderful drum that usually would accompany this dance. Makes the hair stand up on my arms. Thank you for posting this.
Kopanitsa comes from the Bulgarian world "kopane (копане)" which means digging. The reason for the name is a dance were people stomp their feet on the grown like digging.
Yes, bulgarians invented everything...not just the gaida but the words also. While still were behind Caucassus before their hordes came to where bulgaria exists today. But....the language from their homeland in Kazan, Tatarstan, has nothing to do with the language they adopted in the Balkans. Good luck with your hoarding.
I am afraid that kopanitsa is a Greek word, which means "small stick". -itsa is used to pronounce small things and comes from the word "kopanos" which means a stick that used to hit something, kopanitsa is a small stick that used to hit something with not much force. There is a town even in Greece with that name "KOPANOS". Sorry if I disappointed you!
You are right, though such tunes can be found in other Balkan countries, as well. Here's some info about Kopanitsa folk music and dance en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopanitsa
Its bulgarian folklore. Bulgaria is country whit most rich folklore on this planet. In national library is keeped more 240000 folklore songs. Try. DJ89. ABAGAR QUARTET. TRIO BULGARKA. MARIA DIMITROVA. NUSHA CHOIR. Choir ANGELITE. NELI ANDREEVA. PHILIP KOUTEV CHOIR. ISIHIA. DIA. IRFAN. Bulgara. ORATNITZA. COSMIC VOICES FROM Bulgaria. KAYNO yesno solnce
After 36 times of pressing the replay button I think that I need to go back to my work! All this Bulgarian/Rhodopa/Thracian rythms thrill me each and every time...
Yep, one can always recognise the bulgarian sound and rhythm, no matter how or by whom it is interpreted. Thank you for your beautiful work, hope to see more this :) ✌️
This needs to be in literally every Open World RPG ever. Even with just the three instruments, there is such a luscious wall of sound. Excellent composition and production. It's great to hear music with some soul to it, something like this that you can feel pulsing in the blood.

Thank you, all amazing three of you, for contributing by keeping our culture alive! It's a great shame for our people and nation for not investing, for at least, the same amount of energy you beautifully spent recreating this masterpiece of folklore! By the way, I always noticed Meira's gaida has a slightly different timbre than the traditional Kaba gaida. Sounds a bit like a fusion of Kaba, Djura and Greek gaidas.

Αλέξανδρος ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΑΣ Ha ha ha, wrong man! I know that you would invented it! This is not a Greek instrument, it is a Thracian (Bulgarian forefathers) instruments! First read what your predecessor were speaking about the music of the Thracians then try to speak and steal the traditional Bulgarian music from us! Even now you can hear how you, as Greeks, are changing the music, can you, I doubt that? Anyway, man nothing personal, but for the Greeks the Thracians were 'Kakomousoi' do you get it! Even now man you are not able to produce well this music, neither to listen to it! It is out of your brain man, sorry!
Over 2 million views! Makes the work that went in to making this wonderful video worth it! I have certainly watched many times over--it's THAT GOOD! Bravo guys!
Pretty interesting. Kopanitsa actually is traditional ancient bulgarian dance ...The girl plays at Kaba Gayda/ traditional at Rhodopa mountains/ bagpipe.
There aren't ancient Bulgarians. Bulgarians are turkic race from s.China and their roots are there. They came in Thrace during Byzantine empire. Thracian are ancient Greeks
Isn't it cold up on that hill? Oh wow Im sorry!!! I intended to say thank you for the music & video its all so professional & I was watching/listening & my thought at that moment blurted out. Its all so overwhelming & at my third viewing lol. The clothes and Breese and colors of the air its all enchanting and mistafying and just wonderful. I hope one day I will be able to stand there & feel it hear it smell it and give ya a good laugh. ✌️❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

@steliospapakonstantinou2137 Some guys like you dies ignorant. Kopane = digging in Bulgarian - Kopanitsa is the name of the folk dance. The name is related to the steps - the footwork of this type of dance. The performers are spanish (Efren Lopez) and jewish (Meira Segal & Yoni Ben-Dor) and they performed and filmed it on Crete. That's why the greek writing on the stone. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopanitsa The ending "tsa" or "ца" or "ca" is slavic and means something female - for example in BG krastavitsa (cucumber) , tsarevitsa (corn), krasavitsa (beauty) etc. in polish czarownica (witch), błyskawica (lightning) etc. Not everything is greek in this world. I know it is hard to swallow.

Pretty interesting. Kopanitsa actually is traditional ancient bulgarian dance ...The girl plays at Kaba Gayda/ traditional at Rhodopa mountains/ bagpipe.
