Holly fuck. I never expected people from the other side of the world to sing Bulgarian songs so beautifully. Admirations to all singers and their lead.
Gawd damn I thought the same just now. Even if it's a bit faster than the original vid from 11 years ago, they are totally hitting the notes and harmony
I went here last year and we have amazing choir directors. they usually try contact people from the countries of the pieces we sing so we are as authentic as possible 🤭 we were very lucky.
I actually got teary , I am bulgarian living in Chicago but how well they pronounce bulgarian with old accent and dialect , this is tremendous !!! THANK YOU !!
@@itsmaxhhheadr00m73 reduce the nonsense and give a little more facts. When the Bulgarians came to the Balkans, they did not speak today's Bulgarian language. The Bulgarians are an Asian Tatar tribe. When they came, they found the Serbian population and took the language from the Serbs. Obviously, this kind of Bulgarian language was not spoken in Asia
As a Bulgarian, watching this really touches my heart - first, the performance is exceptional, almost indistinguishable from the native Bulgarian one. I wouldn't be able to tell it wasn't Bulgarian, except for some microscopic details (like the "ti" vocalizations, which are a bit harder in Bulgarian). The voices and overall vocalization are just amazing. Filip Kutev and the original singers would be proud listening to this. Second, as Bulgarians, we are used to hearing our musicians perform and pay homage to global music, from classical to modern -- but we are not used to having our culture recognized in the same way. Seeing this performance really lifts the spirit of the whole country. Thank you!
@@nafakirabratmu Both in T and L sounds, English speakers just touch the tip of the tongue to the palate of the mouth - Bulgarians touch the whole front of the tongue directly to the back of the teeth (similar to a "th" sound in English, but without letting the air pass).
Great musical mastery, but also excellent pronunciation, only the most critical ear can hear a non-Bulgarian color in the "t" and "l" sounds! Congrats from Bulgaria!
With all the hate and destruction that humans bring to our beautiful planet, its nice to be reminded of the beauty we posess within. A world class choir is nothing short of breathtaking when they are on and this lot is ON! I dont know how many can truly appreciate how difficult this is... The actual music itself is so incredibly dissonant that it is a nightmare to tune and even a slight bit of pitchiness flat or sharp literally kills the whol effect... Add in that these Kiwis are singing in a non native language (Bulgarian) AND doing so in an ancient dialect and accent makes it all the more incredible. Absolutely blown away.
I join the other Bulgarians who have expressed their admiration here. You’re incredible! Well done for the beautiful singing. Your performance is mind blowing! ❤
New Zealanders often "punch above our weight."I cycled 4000kms through 10 countries in Eastern Europe recently, and was treated thoroughly well by all people. Bulgarian women are beautiful.
Amazing, thank you. Невероятно изпълнение с такова чувство и сърце. Тези песни отразяват едни сериозни етапи от живота на милиони ... и енергията се усеща. Бих завел този състав в България да гледат нестинарите докато слушат песни...
Man, what else is going on at Hogwarts? In all seriousness, outstanding job. I remember seeing the clip of a Bulgarian women's choir doing this song like 10 years ago and it was mind blowingly good. These kids are outstanding.
This is marvelous. I have sung this song with the Yale Slavic Chorus. It is truly BEAUTIFULLY done by this lovely group from New Zealand. Brava !! I am very touched.
There's Bulgarian national music used in The Brothers Grimm, 300 (the American movie about the trojan war) and I can't count probably how many more. And they give us 0 credits for that epic moment soundtrack. Sometimes they don't even pay anybody for it because it's in the public domain.
As a Bulgarian super super surprised how Kiwis so so so far away from Bulgaria managed to really get it so good and respect to NZ. Thank you for cherishing our ancient music. Have a great day and greetings from BG! We now sadly have move more commercial Balkan music, but the traditions are still quite alive you will still be able to listen to bagpipe and medieval music simply because we are too old. Ottomans and Soviets and Byzantines destroyed much of our culture but hey we still exist as a nation more than 1300 years. Just google when was Bulgaria founded lol.
The song is very hard not only because of the resonating harmonies and the lyrics in a Bulgarian dialect, but also because the dynamic part is in irregular rhythm (9/8 - 2+2+2+3, known as Daychovo horo) and the Bulgarian folklore singers use a specific breathing technique which allows them to sing without the need of a microphone, using one would actually ruin the resonant harmonies. When it comes to Acapella singing, few songs are harder than this one. These students did an incredible job. Roll over, Pitch Perfect!
They could don Maori costume and tattoos 😉 I once saw the Polynesian dance theatre and their various choirs … all beautiful just differently so ❤ Also saw the full traditional Bell voice choir .
Fantastic! I'm guessing they learnt this off sheet music as from the Bulgarian performances there seems to be a bit of microtonality that wasn't included in this performance but I guess that is hard to capture in western notation.
Actually, in case you're interested, it's not microtonal differences. The difference comes from close, clashing harmony and the incorporation of aggressive (more high end) vocal tones. These features were absent here, making it sound more "pleasant", and in my opinion, generic.

shut up you know this song from that one adam neely video admit it

Music connects us, no matter where we come from....
If you saw how surprised I was when I saw this video while in Armenia, you would be even more surprised
How do they sound so authentic? That's a dedicated set of students right there.
They from a grammar school, who wonders.
@@didndido3638 ever heard indian english schools?

They have bright tone and resonance.

They don't really have any throat singing abilities and the tempo is faster.
Other than that absolutely agree, its a nice cover.
I think that the "ti" doesnt sounds off, a bit softer but still perfectly normal. It's the "lo" sound in seloto that is a giveaway for me

Even as an Irish person i think that your county has next level singers, especially the choral and chanting.
What is this beautiful song about? Greetings from Greece
The choir: amazing!
The pronunciation: amazing!
The conductor: I thought he was Wes Anderson
The choir was really good and bring me joy, but pronunciation.. :)
This is intensely sophisticated music for this age of student. EXTREMELY impressive.
Great musical mastery, but also excellent pronunciation, only the most critical ear can hear a non-Bulgarian color in the "t" and "l" sounds! Congrats from Bulgaria!
Im Bulgarian and i cant get over how well they pronounce bulgarian 😩

I'm weeping on a bus watching this, and I'm not even Bulgarian. Music really surpasses every boundary, whether cultural or linguistic. Amazingly done.
Watching a group of witches from Hogwarts performing Bulgarian traditional music, turned out to be the highlight of the day.
Holy!!!! I've never thought that other than Bulgarian folklore artists anyone else could master this!!! 🙏🙏
I join the other Bulgarians who have expressed their admiration here. You’re incredible! Well done for the beautiful singing. Your performance is mind blowing! ❤
Счастье и процветание этому народу . Я вас люблю ваши голоса это шедевр .

WOW! I've heard many versions of this work, sung by Bulgarians, and you Kiwis nailed it! Bravo, from South Africa!
Geez you made it exactly as The Bulgarian State Radio & Television Female Vocal Choir. I'm so impressed! Fantastic job!
Hands down the best performance at big sing 😍
greetings from Bulgaria :) Very good performance
Goosebumps. Amazing
Well done.
I am Bulgarian from New Zealand

01:37 always gives me chills
Something about this awakens a blood memory in me, and gives me lots of strength. I like it very much.
I am so impressed with this choir. Moving music, tight harmony. Thank you!
Wonderful choir and performance. I’m Bulgarian and thank you !!

Quite impressive for a foreign choir, truly impressive.
I am incredibly impressed, not just by the musical abilities, but by the pronunciation! Altos for the win!
Amazing. Thanks from Bulgaria. ❤
Spectacular! Wonderful to see Bulgarian music spread around the world. Amazing harmonies and beautiful to see such a mix of cultures permforming it.
Very well done. Love from Bulgaria !
Well shit I didn’t expect the choir to be from NZ🤯 Humanity’s last breath latest single brought me here.
Same 🤯
this just sounds like the perfect intro to an insanely cool movie
check out Ghost in the Shell
I think this was used as the evil Xena theme.
You mean like Xena?

Nice to see this music reaching all around the world ! Positive , non-hateful moments on the Internet are truly welcome .
That was really outstanding, had to clap in real life
This is the best version of this soon I've been able to find! Absolutely beautiful sound❤
Great work! Greetings from Varna, Bulgaria, also known as the Summer or Sea capital of the country.

Это просто Чудо - и песня , и исполнение !!!
Mesmerizing and enchanting.
Incredible
Браво! Наистина браво! Супер сте! ❤
Simply beautiful...
Chills! Excellent work, I can’t imagine learning a song of this complexity solely via phonetics, that’s legit kinda nuts.
wooo what a great intonation... so clear and expressive, additionally impressive :)
Well done!! I've just watched this peformed by a Bulgarian choir and you did a creditable job.
Fantastic intonation and harmonic resolution in between the really close intervals. This is not a piece for beginners, and you've done ever so well.
amazing! Love from BG
Flawless!!! Very very very nice. This is how you do it! Congrats to the leader who got these girls this far.
very nicely done!
I miss the beautiful traditional dresses - but wow so beautiful they sing ❤
They could don Maori costume and tattoos 😉
