  • If u wanna dance to this music,well....do not talk about belly dance like its the only variation of dance for this kind of music...Probably Bulgarian traditional dances are suitable for their own music,huh?Does it make any sense to ya,huh? :D :) I dont understand why u have to connect the word ``exotic`` with belly dances mostly....

  • Excellent! *****

  • AH! After a week of searching for this song I finally found it again

  • Да - тази песен само може да ни научи на уважение и красота. Прекрасно!

  • I found this group and Niyaz through a comment on an Enya vid by this uploader about the bellydance song (Beni Beni) which isn't bellydance either. Just go with the flow, dancers use whatever they are inspired by, including hip-hop and rap, (unfortunately). I'm traditional but would use their music. It is beautiful and her voice makes you want to express those feelings.

  • Utter and total WIN

    

  • This is Bulgarian music. It has absolutely nothing to do with Belly dance.

    Would you use it for Irish dance? No!

    Please respect other peoples' cultures.

  • @FleursDuPrintemps No, I wouldn't because dancing an Irish dance to it would be practically impossible as the rhythm of this particular dance is completely different. ;)

    Ah, but you are not respecting other people's cultures seeing how you are annoyed by the fact people use it for belly dance. Belly dance is a part of arabian culture and there's nothing disrespectful in showing beauties of them both by mixing them in one dance and telling a beautiful story.

  • Belly dance is belly dance and Bulgarian folk songs are Bulgarian folk songs and according to Youtubers reactions to your comment, I know I'm right and you're wrong.

  • @FleursDuPrintemps First, fact is: You can belly dance to anything. Especially with theTribal Fusion style. "Respecting" other peoples cultures has nothing to do with keeping them "unmixed" or "pure" from other cultures. Respect is often shown by embracing. YOU are doing a diservice to the culture by not letting other culture mix and mingle with it. Its call tolerance. Learn it.

    Secondly... Tex-mex was a mixing of cultures in food... and guess what.. it freakin rocks.

  • @xAzriphalex Very well said. Thank you.

    To add to your list, we would not have 'rock-n-roll', nor some of the greatest classical compositions, without cultural combinations coming together.

  • @ralphyboy25 How right you are...although Mozart rocked the opera world when he presented his German operas to Vienna, they ultimately were accepted. Wouldn't it be wonderful if this is all people could find to argue about?

  • Belly dance as much as you want and to anything you want, that will never turn the moon into green cheese : Bulgarian music is not Belly dance music and that will change when Hell freezes over.

  • @FleursDuPrintemps I dunno why you keep insisting on what this is and isnt. The artist, in this case, the belly dancer can make it whatever they want. If it brings them joy to dance in a manner they know, who are you to tell them they shouldn't? Metal and Opera by alrights shouldn't be mixed but Within Temptation makes it beautiful to those with an open mind. Free yours, maybe you wouldn't see things so black and white.It'll enrich your life.

  • BTW, political correctness and multiculturalism are not my cup of tee. I'm not the kind of person who uses Celtic traditionnal tunes to do the Sirtaki.

  • @FleursDuPrintemps Close minds and moronic thoughts of intolerance aren't my cup of tea, but no matter how hard I fight against it.. theres still going to be people who practice it... case and point. However, I have learned that that which does not affect me in a malcious way isnt something I should worry about. Dance is hardly malicious or mean spirited in anyway. Something you, I think, would do well to learn yourself.

  • 'Feel better now that you've showed me agressivity and rudeness?

    Rejecting a mistake is not intolerance. Bulgarian traditionnal songs are not to be called "bellydance music". Do a belly dance, or even hip hop tricks on it if that makes your day, that's not the point, but don't claim it's bellydance music. You could belly dance on a Bluegrass tune as well. Would that make it "bellydance music"? Nope.

  • @FleursDuPrintemps It would defineatly be worth dancing to though, wouldn't it? :)

  • I don't deny it. :)

  • @FleursDuPrintemps Try telling that to Bulgarian bellydancers, I doubt they'd agree.

  • Listen guys, you can use whatever you want to do whatever you want. You can dance Tango on a Heavy Metal song if you enjoy it. But You cannot call a Bulgarian folk music a "belly dance music". Respect things as they are.

  • opaaa! ***** CCCC!

  • any one know the words , the real ones, and the pronunciation?

  • The iranian Azam Ali is perfect, she's singing bulgarian folklore as if she've lived all of her life here - in my Bulgaria, I'm really proud with this masterpiece. :)

  • I don't think that it's bad to use this music for a belly dance performance, I love Vas, and Niyaz, I dance 7 differnt styles of belly dance, but these days I dance Fusion styles as my lead type of dance, I have a festival coming up to perform for and a hafla and I plan to use Vas and Niyaz music, I think Azam Ali is a beautiful amazing singer, I'm not sure about it's connection with middle eastern dance, the sounds and tone of music by the band can be used for belly dance, if the dancer is good

  • I do not want to sound negative, but I’ve never heard any tribe in the history of Bulgaria using belly dance for making rituals. The new “reading” of the folklore music is a must, but if done careful and with respect to its origin. I really like that version of “Izgrejala”, but personally connecting the folklore song with belly dances sounds ridiculous to me. No offense and enjoy the music!

  • @asonexa This is why the people who use this song to dance dance "tribal FUSION bellydance", it's all about mixing cultures, music and dances together to get something as meaningful as it is beautiful. Actually it's far from ridiculous

  • @asonexa Hehehe, man, you are right, but, you see, in the age of internet peoples don't longer care about traditions everything is mixed up, i don't know if it`s something wrong but also don't think is something good i just accept that the cultures travel, world is a brownian movement so it was from the very begginings of humanity. I think is nice that peoples are interested in the music of Dobrudza...bulgarian folklore.But also ppl must understand this is more than a "cool" stuff.!:)

  • AWE !

  • If this is what Bulgarian music sounds like, then I wish I knew more about Bulgaria.

  • @despina013 ..Bulgaria was made by the Gods!

  • This is the greatness of MUSIC: an Iranian sing a Bulgarian song and we ALL enjoy it!

  • She reminds me of the singer from Lumin.

  • I wonder whether it is possible to find the lyrics of this song in Bulgarian. Any ideas?

  • did anyone not no wat to look up so mashed the keyboard and somehow vas popped up?

  • Risen clear star

    hey little lass

    was not a bright star

    hey little lass

    It was a small lass

    hey little lass

    little lass

  • Absolute nonsense! This is one of the most beautiful Bulgarian folk songs, "descend, descend clear sun!"

    Shame on you for this obviously plagiarism!!!!

  • Bulgarian power!!!

  • this is a woman who has expression beyond the Lady GaGa crap

  • Lyrics!!!: Izgreyala yazna svezda Birnalam birsalam Salam salam kazlaram Gel vido gel nedo Gel mi gel mi gel Nay mi bila yazna svezda Birnalam … Nay mi bila malka moma Birnalam …Iiiiiiiii!
  • @MaledictionAndPrayer shiban turchin!!!!!!!!

  • Nobody knows the lyrics? Maybe someona from Bulgaria? :) Me and many others would be very thankfull for posting lyrics to this song :)

  • Comment removed

  • can somebody please put the original lyric and translation here? This is one of my favourite songs of all time ever!

  • Yes very awesome!

    Blessed Be!

    )O(

  • Amazing mix between the West and the East, the past and the tomorrow.

  • YES!

  • Is there anybody who can write text of this song? please. it' very important to me.

  • see how wonderful is bulgarian music!!! i think there should be more artists like Azam Ali! great voice!

  • Is it ok that most songs I listen to I don't even care what the lyrics are being told, and still appreciate the music for what it is anyways and for what I hear? I really wish I knew the lyrics, but at the same time I think it's absolutely perfect as it is, an instrumental to me. 1 that brings some pretty powerful emotions at surface, at that.

  • absolute perfection.

  • Bulgarian power!!!

  • anyone know where i could get lyrics and a translation?

  • @leshark Izgrejala jasna zvezda (A bright star arises).

    A traditional song from Pazardzhik in the Thracian (central) region of Bulgaria. However, the star appears to be a beautiful girl Angelina.

  • I was also trying to google the lyrics but I fail. It sings about a girl who was mistaken with a shining star. But the chorus I can not really hear what is it concretely, I think is some turkish words

  • what's that "geldi" she says?

  • Thanks a lot buddy ..

  • perfect!!!

  • is this the Bulgarian language ?

  • yes, it is

  • @testercheto  thanks alot good to know, coz i like this band

  • Addictively beautiful.

  • very good song

  • in bulgarian bulgaria the u sound is pronounsed like in the word bull. Bulgarians is Bulgari. And we have city Madara, Shoumen, Varna, Zagora. Name Dena and a lot of common things. The Bulgarian language is slavic but has diferend grammar.

  • guys, it's pure bulgarian music....find info

  • I like this version of Izgrejala better. It probably is not as true to the original though but I like her Persian spin on it.

  • The Bulgarians are persians :-) so this is made by one nation :-) The rythm is not the same but sounds great even with persian accent :-)

  • Bulgarians are Slavs dude but I bet some Persians did migrate north into Slavic lands from the ancient old. But their language and Old, Middle, and Modern Persian have nothing in common aside from their European heritage.

  • What do you know:-) I said it as a joke. But the Bulgars are bactrians.

  • "The Bulgarians are persians :-) so this is made by one nation :-) The rythm is not the same but sounds great even with persian accent :-)"

    ^-- No where did you say "I am just joking." ;)

    Are Bulgarians Bactarians? Really? Can you prove it? :)

  • The bulgars or the proto-bulgarians. They gave the name of the tracko-slavic mass on the balkans. It's too complicated you can just read the history of Bulgaria fo example in Wikipedia. There are 3 Bulgarias.

  • You think Wikipedia is 100% accurate? Why do people rely on that thing so much for scholarly research? Anyone can come in and manipulate the data posted my friend.

    Bulgarians are Slavs. Bactria of the old or Balkh was part of the Persian continuity. The two are not the same. The Bulgar culture and language died long ago and is no longer the same either my friend.

    Thracia's existence, Slavs influence, Byzantine's rule, and Ottomon's rule help carve out what it is today.

  • Whatever. Don't have time for discussian now. Not only wikipedia. There is entire new look of the proto bulgars history. The turkic theory is soviet one and completly without evidences. Have you ever heard of the bulgarian calendar?

  • I looked at a few. I've seen pretty much the same stuff.

    "The new Bulgarian state united Proto-Bulgarians, Slavs and the native population, which consisted mainly of Thracians."

    "The Proto-Bulgarians inhabited the regions to the north of the Caucasus in close neighbourhood with Georgians and Armenians during the fourth century. They belonged to the Turkic ethno-linguistic group and were kindred in tongue to the Huns, Khazars and Avars."

  • Ancient Bulgarian calender on Wikipedia links it to Chinese and makes a connection in this way. 12 animals each representing a different 'era'. What of it?

  • It is older then the chinese. and is more accurate than the gregorian calendar used today. Anyway You can find the original of that song in my videos. The song is called GEL MOMA, not Izgrejala.

  • Most of the sources I've found that regard the Ancient Bulgarian Calender have either from Wikipedia or some biased website source like the Bulgarian Student Association or whatever. There's quite a few calenders of the ancient world that are more accurate than ours. Take the Mayan's. There's is only off by 42 seconds.

  • The Mayan is less accurate. The Ancient Bulgarian Calendar is the oldest in the world. :-) I don't know what student societies are you talking about. This is very serious matter. It's on UNESCO list of Ancient Monuments.

  • I have seen a few posts of some sort of Proto-Bulgarian calender being called by UNESCO as the most accurate. I am not entirely convinced but I am not doubting the possibility either. I personally did not see it posted on UNESCO website no matter where I looked.

    I do think Bulgaria is an interesting place to visit though. Maybe in the future, I'll visit it.

  • Most of the Bulgarian intelligence doubt for a long time. Those are quite new theories. The scientific proves came later. There are groups of BG historians who still are not convinced about the iranian theory. But it is demonstration of their stupidity.

  • what does 'gel moma' mean? bulgarian right?

  • i'm wondering the same

  • Absolutely bewitching! Makes me want to do a tribal dance at stonehenge whith a midnight bonfire. Her voice has an incredible penetrating quality.

  • BEATIFUL¡¡¡¡¡

  • But i prefer the original song made by bulgarians theyselfs

  • hi do noo sm new of Azam Ali??????

  • A new album from Niyaz : "Nine heavens" is the last one :)...see on my channel

  • hmmm...sounds like ANGELITE...

  • i meant XM World Zone

  • I first heard this song on XM World Vision and I immediately fell in love with it, but I have no idea what they're saying. i totally agree with belladonna2007 that it makes you think of some epic film/book with a female warrior.

  • Creepy in the best way possible. Makes me think of some epic film/book with a female warrior

  • Did not understand a word, but i loved it!

  • Excellent ! I loved it !

    "Izgrejala e jasna zvezda" - A bright star has shone ...

  • man...is this song made with ANGELITE ??

  • could someone please provide the lyrics?Please!

  • This is Bulgarian folklore song. And is arrogance to call it "belly dance song".

  • @asonexa

    It is Bulgarian song but is aslo song used for dancing tribal fusion belly dance. I don't see why would it be arrogante to say it. Maybe perosn who said it is belly dance song didn't know its origin but still, there was no need for such a negative reaction...lol! I find this song to be amazing and beautiful and also a perfect song for tribal fusion belly dance...does that make my arrogant? No! It makes me a person with good taste in art.

  • "Izgreyala" is a dialectical form of Bulgarian "izgryala", which is the feminine form in past tense of "izgryavam". "Izgryavam" is a verb: "to rise", used especially for the sun and the moon. "Izgreyala messechina" means: "Moon has risen".

    Azam Ali is absolutely great!

  • Does anyone know what Izgrejala means? I'd love to know..

  • Unbelievable! I love it !!

  • Awesome!

  • Pure magic!

  • Excellent!!!

  • this song is the perfect belly dance song. i loveeeeeeee it!
