could have at least tried to give it a medieval spin, modern (bulgarian renaissance 1600-1800) sound is terrible and only foreigners like it. disgustingly oriental
"Disgustingly oriental."
Aaaaaand another moron stuck in 19th century Eurocentric mentality. You're in good hands Denis, ignorant clowns like you are an inside joke on this channel.
As for "only foreigners like it," check the comments and see how thousands of Bulgarians enjoy the music whose "disgustingly oriental" features reach all the way back to Ancient Greek music, making them as natively Balkanic as it gets; a fact I've established time and again through my video essays supported by academic sources. So not only is a medieval spin present in the DNA of this composition, even an ancient, pre-medieval spin is.
Sorry, but this is like a dwarf punching a giant. Better luck next time.@@DenisBourveau
and by a giant (lovable and goofy, but certainly a giant), I mean you, dear Farya. May this channel continue for at least 100 years, and I mean it from the depths of my Islamicate Balkanite heart.
@RevenantScholar Honestly I'm just some dude with average intelligence, but even some dude like me will appear like a giant next to people like Denis lol

Which doesn't make sense considering the number of blind bulgars...

This is asen dynasty from the Second Bulgarian Tsardom. Blind soldiers were from the first Bulgarian Tsardom.
@@thanos_karagiannhs5320
Also it's normal to be happy, Asen dynasty had a field day with everyone on the Balkans, with Crusaders too.
@@thanos_karagiannhs5320 Then again those 15,000 Roman's in Varna seem pretty blind underground.
As a Macedonian Bulgarian, I approve.
The women choir in the background 🤲🏼💗✨
Ikr, it’s lovely
The majority of Bulgarian Folk songs have a choir in the background, and the majority are women.
@@raynabryaskova8681 it's lovely and atmospheric
A little information on Bulgarian traditional music - it is divided in two categories: dance music and singing music. Dance music is only melody with no singing (like the one in this video). It is played for the traditional Bulgarian (and broader Balkan) dance styles called khoro. As for the singing music, it is only singing with no background music - usually a choir (either female or male; very rarely mixed). The choir is composed of several different groups that sing together but usually different part of the lyrics. The singing features great variety of harmonisations and styles to create different feelings - that’s why there’s no background music. The lyrics are much varied. Some are concerned with narratives about men and women who are doing something (it doesn’t have to be ‘heroic’ - there’s a song about a maiden who’s digging a well; another about a maiden fighting with tricks a dragon etc.). There are also lyrics about animals behaving like humans (for example horses proposing a marriage to a girl’s father). Also songs about real historical figures whose lives merged into mythologised stories- like songs about the Bulgarian emperor Ivan Shishman and his sister Kera Tamara. And finally there’re lyrics about mythological beings- dragons, fairies, vampires, ghosts, Moirai, etc. Mixed songs - melody and singing, were traditionally rare but emerged popularly in the late 19th century and the 20th century. My personal favourite Bulgarian song, which I recommend everyone to listens to, is ‘Bre, Petrunko’ - it is a story about a maiden called Petruna who is the best dancer in her village and says that whomever outdances her she will marry. So she goes around villages and cities to dance and no one can outdance her ever, until she meets a young man and they start dancing and he manages to outdance her. (I’m Bulgarian but in no way a professional researcher of Bulgarian music, this is only the basics!)
The bulgarian voices are SO lit! I LOVE their choires. Goes straight through the spine to the heart, gives you goosebumps and somehow even provokes tears.
Thanks man! It's like being in a cloudy and dark Tŭrnovgrad, just in the crowd before st. Dimitŭr's church, seeing the three Asen brothers lifting the icon of st. Dimitŭr Solunski, surrounded by the bolyars and proclaiming the tsardom's restoration, and shortly after the bishop crowning Petŭr as tsar... and the rest is history. The recognition by Rome, the overtaking of tsar Kalyan the Romanslayer of the Balkans, and the glorification of Bulgaria by tsar Ivan Asen II as "third Rome", being the only autocephalous independent orthodox Patriarchy in the world by that time.

Yoooo im from Bulgaria, thanks a lot❤
A great piece of music about that time that Romanians worked with our Bulgarian brothers to gain independence from the Byzantines!
Слава България! 🇧🇬🇧🇬
We Vlachs (Romanians) didn't work with Bulgarians, they worked for us. The revolt of 1185-1186 Târnovo was a Vlach revolt, that's what it says in the only source we have on the revolt which is Niketas Choniates who lived at that time (1155-1217). Between 12th c. - 13th c. the Empire was referred by both Occidental and Oriental sources as _Vlachia_ by various different forms.
@@InAeternumRomaMater You need to read some real books. The Vlachs were north of the Danube, and your leaders were Bulgarians... You used the Bulgarian cyrillic script and Bulgarian Old Church Slavonic by your official leaders. You have no evidence to claim the revolt was a Vlach revolt. The 13th century was short lived and Bulgaria at the time was at war with Serbia, and soon came the Ottomans, and your story ends in the 13th centry.
@@dayanbalevski4446 I posted all the sources to another guy but it seems I have to write my whole comment again. First thing first, Vlachs weren't at all "only" north of danube, we have documented proof as early as the 10th c. that Vlachs lived near the Vardar and Prespa rivers at that time because they were semi-nomadic pastoralists. Not only that, Vlachs is an *exonym to Eastern-Romanic speaking people who were majority of the Balkan people before the arrival of the Slavs and Bulghars. And no, the leaders of Wallachia and Moldavia weren't at all "Bulgarians", as we have documented proof that they were referred as Vlachs, such as the letter of King Louis of Hungary who mentioned Basarab the Founder as "our unfaithful Vlach". Lastly, it was during the reign of Alexander the Good of Moldavia we switched our alphabet to Cyrillic in which he did so due religious concerns about the growth of Catholicism in the Principality. Soon the alphabet became widely used in both Moldavia and Wallachia by the 14th c. while Latin remained predominant in Transylvania. So this proves how bs you are and a classic Bulgarian nationalist.
Now the sources for my claims about the revolt of Târnovo in 1185-1186, the origin of the Asanids and the Empire being Vlach. The only source we have on the revolt of Târnovo in 1185-1186 is the chronicle of Niketas Choniates who was a Roman historian and lived at that time between 1155-1217 and he writes the following about the revolt: "When Vlachs were afflicted with the disease of open rebellion, the leaders of this evil being those I cited above, the Emperor marched out against them [spring 1186]. At first, the Vlachs were reluctant and turned away from revolt urged upon them by Peter and Asan, looking askance at the magnitude of the undertaking. To overcome the timidity of their compatriots, the brothers built a house of prayer in the name of the Good Martyr Demetrios."
About the origin of the two brothers, Asan and Peter: "he (Isaakios Angelos II) made the barbarians of Mount Haimos, who were formerly called Mysians, and now Vlachs, enemies of the Sies and the Romans. These, entrusted by the inaccessibility of the land in which they lived and relying on their fortresses, which are also very numerous and erected on steep rocks, once again submitted against the Romans; but then, finding the so-called pretext of Patroclus in abducting their flocks and oppressing themselves, they broke into a violent insurrection. And they were bringers of misfortune and agitators of the whole nation, one Peter and with Asan, of the same race and origin"
He also writes how Asan (Belgün) spoke in the Vlach language with a captive Roman priest: "One of the captive priests, who had been carried off to the Haimos as a prisoner of war and knew the language of the Vlachs, begged Asan to release him and appealed to him to show him mercy. Asan, throwing his head back in denial, refused and said that it had never been his policy to set Romans free but to kill them; for this was also God’s will, and he had let him live a long time."
This is the ONLY source we on the revolt and its early years. And the Bulgarians of course took an active role in it, but it was a Vlach revolt just as the revolt of Thessaly in 1066 was Vlach.
@@dayanbalevski4446 Our leaders were Bulgarian? What are you smoking?
@alexandru4193 your leaders spoke Bulgarian and used the Bulgarian Cyrillic alphabet. I didn't say they were Bulgarian, but they probably were atleast half Bulgarian.
Beautiful, greetings from 🇧🇬 Браво!
Thanks from Bulgaria!
Respect to the people of Slavic origin, if we read the history we will see that we Iranians and you have common roots, we love you❤
Not quite,you see slavic DNA is R1A1,and slavs have brown hair and brown eyes.And i bet that iranians have different DNA,even so i don't know wich it is.But about slavic DNA i can tell,that it's created in 16000BC,and that slavs lives in europe since 8676 BC,you can see more in videos Slava True Story Of Slavic Glory,and Slavs For 10700 Years In Europe.And even so only few iranians share slavic DNA,most conections between slavs and iranians are Words,Toponyms,Symbols,and three ancient slavic emperors.And here few facts,on planet earth,their are 4470 serbian toponyms,like Sarbo,Serbo,Sirbo,Sorbo,Surbo,and others,you can see more in videos from Edusrbin youtube channel.This toponyms were discovered by serbian writer Milos Milojevic,in 19th century.And my favorite part,amoung long list, are three slavic emperors,wich has come from Slavic Vinća CIvilization.And theirs names are Nino Belov,Serbo Makeridov,and Aleksandar Karanović.The first emperor Nino Belo, has lead first qonquest of slavic aryans into india,in slavic year of 3454,and has created slavic empire called Asuria.And in slavic year of 2008,slavic aryans from poland has builded Arkaim,and migrated to India,and it was this trail,that all three slavic emperors has follow.Then in slavic year of 4208,second slavic emperor has apear,his name was Serbo Makeridov.And he has created second empire,in the same frontiers as Nino's empire,and named it Serbo Rashka Empire.Serbo Makeridov was a person of such greatness to the slavs,that Serbian People has named them selfs after Serbo Makeridov.And the last emperor on this list is,Aleksandar Karanović,known as Alexander the greate.He to has created big empire,but it was much smaller than other two._Now here slavic time line for you.1.In 5508BC Slavs are counting their own calendar.2.In 2008 Slavic aryans from poland migrate to India.3.In 3454 Nino Belov apear.4.In 3908 serbs migrate to libya and create state that will last 700 years.5.In 4208 Serbo Makeridov apear.6.In 5152 Aleksandar Karanović apear.7.In 5458 Roman Empire apear.8.In 5508 Jesus was born.9.In 6458 Roman Empire collapses.10.In 6938 Tower of Smederovo was build.
Well, you don't know about the genetic characteristics of Iranians. The r1a1 genetic code in many Iranian people is the origin of the template, for example, in Tajiks it is 45%, in Persians 21% in Pashtuns, 60% in Kurds, 20% in between. Some Zoroastrians are up to 90%, and I consider that to be the common root.
Regarding the Aryans, I must say that the first person in history who called himself an Aryan was Darius the Great, and for the first time in historical inscriptions he called himself the son of an Aryan
And remember that this is not the only racial identifier in Aryans, Aryans also have other genetic identifiers.
Our focus is on the common root, we don't say that Slavs are Iranians or Iranians are Slavs, our discussion is the common and primary root that you can find out by putting the pictures of Aryan people together.
@@Jasmin.M-hz5ty
@@Superhuman0 I will make this simple,word Aryan/Arijevci comes from slavic word Aria,and people from Aria was Arijevci.Their was even place in Russia,called Volga Aria.And serbian god of war and hunt was called Arion,from whom Arijevci/Aryans were named.And Arijevci/Aryans was serbian tribe of hunter gatherers,organised into first slavic military.Thus ARYANS ARE SLAVIC PEOPLE,becouse people has allready prove that.
@@Jasmin.M-hz5ty The word Arya was used for the first time in the 6th century BC in the Biston inscription of Darius I, this is the oldest historical document about the word Aryan, Herodotus also writes in his historical notes about the Medes, "All these Medes in ancient times They called Aryan. Aryan means noble and civilized, which Iranians proved many times. You can see science, philosophy and human rights in Persian Empire
In his inscription, Shapur II introduces himself as follows: I am the king of the Aryans
@@Superhuman0 I agree with you. At least old Bulgars most probably have Persian roots. Same as Sanskirt and Lithuanian have similar roots. Only ignorant people will deny all the Indo-European route. Same with the Magyars and Finns. Why do Finns have "Asian" eyes?
Nice, I really love the bass sounds in this one😊
Any chance you could do an Epic Talking video about Bulgarian women's choirs? I can across a vid of a pianist trying to work out the harmonies, who was both impressed and confused as he couldn't figure out the micro-tonalities 🙂
Fire! Just like the rest of your Balkan music (and music and general)! I’ve been watching your stuff since I found Hikanatoi 2 years ago and I’ve been enjoying it all ever since! 👍

Iranian-American who lived in Zagreb and Beograd for six years and traveled frequently to Bugarska and Makedonija in that time. I love this!
Another great song to make my day! Thank you Farya for your amazing work!! This does make me wish we knew what the secular Bulgarian music sounded like back then. Orthodox chants are great, but I am sure there are many songs and musics that represent the culture at the time.

Wasn't the coat of arms in the video the coat of arms of that Bulgarian-Wallachian union?
Yes, the Asen dynasty.
You can't call it an "union" and especially not in reference to _Wallachia_ but _*Vlachia._
*Wallachia* was the Romanian Principality north of the danube river founded likely by a military expansion by Terra Lyuta in 1290 and gained independence in 1330 during the reign of Basarab the Founder.
*Vlachia* was Mysia south of the danube river which incorporated most of the territory of Theme of Paristrion. This is where the two Vlach brothers Asan and Peter brought together the Vlachs of Târnovo to revolt against Isaakios Angelos II after his tax increase. This is the information we gain from the Roman chronicler Niketas Choniates who lived at that time from 1155-1217. He adds additionally that during the reign of Kalopetrus the Vlach, he took Theme of Bulgaria where he United the two Kingdoms (Vlachia and Bulgaria) into one great Kingdom. Similary did Otto the Great of Kingdom of Germany where he took Kingdom of Italy and formed an Empire forming what we call a _translatio Imperii_ by claiming Roman imperial succession. Same did the Asanids by claiming Bulgarian imperial succession in order to legitimise their imperial claim.
Très propre!

It became Tatarstan
@@papazataklaattiranimam it was exterminated and enslaved by the Golden Horde and the Mongols to the point of no return. The people of Kazan are as Avar/Kazar/Bulgar/Altay/Seljuks as they currently feel at the moment and don't have any national/cultural heritage or common mindset to fulfill the most basic requirements for etho existence.
And last but not least “Tatar" is a pseudo word invented by the Russian Empire to concentrate all of their unwanted minorities within a single basket for socio-political convenience. The Chukchi are as “““Tatar””” as the Crimean Turks and they are not even “Turkic” to begin with.
I have hear for Asens from serbian youtube channel Drevnik,aparently they are called Asa,Asi,Aseni.And the Drevnik youtube channel has sed,that name of Asian Continent,comes from slavic tribe of Asi.But i don't know what name means,or how it's old,only that it's slavic name.
:)))
Bulgarians have a common origin with us Iranians and their ancestors were from Iranian people🇮🇷🇧🇬❤
🤓🤓🤓
@@papazataklaattiranimam what fo you want turcuk?
The name of the dynasty comes from one of the brothers, namely Asen I. The etymology is of Cuman Turkic origin, derived from "esen" which meant "safe, sound, healthy" and the Belgun nickname seems to be derived from Turkic "bilgün", which meant "wise". Further support to this connection can be found in the charters of the Great Lavra of Mt. Athos from the end of the 12th century, which mention the monastery's problems with some of the Cuman stratiotes, where "Asen" is listed as the name of one of those Cumans.
Other study shows that the only name that makes sense is änish ("descent") and the word can be found almost exclusively in the languages of the Kipchaks.
A Turk: The whole planet is Turk unless proven otherwise
Slavs are Indo-European people, you cannot make history by distorting it be satisfied with the same Turkish dynasties
@@Superhuman0😂😂😂😂😂
@@papazataklaattiranimamYes, my friend, when I was in the Persian Gulf, a shark took its head out of the water and said, I am a Turk

Sharks and Turks both have k
so according to the literature sharks are Turks😂😂😂
As a consequence, groups of the Cumans and the Tatars settled and mingled with the local population in various regions of the Balkans. The Cumans were the founders of three successive Bulgarian dynasties (Asenids, Terterids and Shishmanids) and the Wallachian dynasty (Basarabids). They also played an active role in Byzantium, Hungary and Serbia, with Cuman immigrants being integrated into each country's elite.
The Asan Dynasty was never mentioned to be Cuman, but rather Vlach and it is accepted as such by modern academia
Bro, you are omnipresent in every Bulgarian video. Emigrate to Saudi Arabia or update your brain software. Erdo is a good imam 🤣 get a life!
Had you spend even one hundred of the (obviously) free time that you have in trying to re-write foreign history in the fr!ggin TH-cam comment section, into actually improving your very own friggin life in Turkey chances are you would've been satisfied enough as to do something slightly more productive than preeching.
I don't understand why you Turkish bunch have such crippling obsession over Bulgarian History, you quite literally can't milk or prove anything from it. Why you don't just scratch your ego and national insecurities with the “Tolerance of the Ottomans” like everyone else.
