[letrasheurdemots]

Magical voices, for un magical music and a very beautiful country...

[walkingSurrealism]

@letrasheurdemots Thank you so much,truly appreciate it <3

[RachandRams]

I was reading a lot of the comments and it seems a lot of people are upset that fans associate this song with Xena? Or at least that's what I'm reading. I'm a HUGE fan of the show and the Xena theme is what brought me to first hear the song Kaval Sviri. It's obvious it is not the same song but it is also apparent the theme was based off this particular one. The original is STUNNING to say the least but when I hear it.....I can't help it....it makes me think of Xena. LOL!

[ioanpena]

@RachandRams The stories of Xena and Herculles were influnced by Balkan gods and tales. European civilisation started in the Balkans...

[RachandRams]

@ioanpena Really? I didn't know that! I do know that the producer for Xena, Rob Tapert, said there was a lot of asian influence as well when creating the show. The last episode is kind of a tribute to that.

[ioanpena]

@RachandRams Hercules was a halfgod in Greeck mithology. His father was Zeus the greatest god in greeck mithology and lived in Olympus montain in the Balkan peninsula...500 miles south from where i live...

[Fomze]

@ioanpena and greece...and rome/italian rennaissance

[ShortySOM]

@RachandRams Kaval Sviri is actually credited with inspiring the theme to Xena

[walkingSurrealism]

@RachandRams Yeah,well if you really like this piece I suggest you research where it came from. :)) Best wishes.

[mwall444]

Xena. Definitely.

[MrCijuciju]

heard them many years ago...in a japanese commercial and since then I've been haunted by these magical voices....they not only give me goosebumps,but are the fantastic example of dyschordic polyphony sounding unbelevable.....and being a person with an absolute pitch,I can identify so many different harmonic chords that I get impressed each time listening to this celestial piece....but the best example is the first song in a video on YT from Vancouver I think...I was stunned!!!!<3<3

[LaurentziuRo]

Marvellous ! Greetings from Romania !

[JaimitoMartinez]

wow this is very beautiful! I've heard this form of music before but never knew who sang it or where is originated! glad I found it! again very beautiful music!

[unrealturbos]

thumbs up if that made you cry just briliant

[0811558853]

I'm from Hungary, too, and I also love bulgarian songs! :-)

[HaloFSky]

What's the problem with some meanie guys here criticizing others for their culture and country or even personal choices in life. You must accept the fact that Xena was a good as **** show and half of it because it contained elements of traditional Bulgarian songs. This one is officially recognized as Xena sound WHY do you try to hide it so much? As if Xena character is a prostitute and insults the folklore music. Get a life morons.

[sk8terchimpy]

The Xena theme was based off of this song. Read the video watch?v=WcrIXIUyQ8M. However, this is not the Xena theme :)

[Zaxxen69]

Xena was awesome!

[FrauTuturutka]

@Zaxxen69 What should have to do this video with Xena? This is not Xena!

[HaloFSky]

@FrauTuturutka Xena's soundtrack is based on this music.

[FrauTuturutka]

@HaloFSky No. It is a different song !

[HaloFSky]

@FrauTuturutka Not the main theme but a track that is played during her fights. It is called Warrior Princess. Just simple :)

[garic2k]

The Xena Theme woot!

[FrauTuturutka]

@garic2k This is not Xena. This is a Bulgarian folklore

[AlienNoirePomme]

Really beautiful voices... And melodies.

They are incredible. I love this song so much.

[pansagittarius]

it's freakin epic & wonderful. no wonder it was used in Xena soundtrack

[Firewalkerbg]

@LichexJenkins Moron...

[Firewalkerbg]

@LichexJenkins Mainly because you demonstrate genuine ignorance in terms of music and culture.

[Firewalkerbg]

@LichexJenkins LOL I just noticed you're just a kid that comes from a country with no cultural tradition whatsoever. Disregard my previous comment, I shouldn't expect any basic knowledge about the world demonstrated by someone like you. Continue watching your "series" - one day you'll eventually grow up, learn this and that about the world and understand that TV series may not be the key to life and knowledge...

[Firewalkerbg]

@LichexJenkins The problem was only that you were ignorant as to where the music is from. It's folklore. It carries tradition beyond your understanding. It means more than your ignorance can handle. As a matter of fact this very piece of music was never used by Loduca, as it belongs to another composer. Loduca did use Bulgarian singers and even a couple of real folklore songs (on a not very professional level), but not this very one.

Funny, but you wouldn't stop proving to be a moron...

[LichexJenkins]

@Firewalkerbg I just removed all my comments for you canse you seem to be unable to handle it that i like Xena the warrior princess. My comment originally had nothing to do with ignorance or culture. It meant, cause i heared the xena theme song paticly, that i am a fan. Nothing more nothing less.

Now please, dont waste anymore of my time and quit replying, cause the more you call me a moron, the more you proof to be one yourself:)

[sleeper7271]

@LichexJenkins I totally get you.You have to note though,bulgarians are very passionate about they're old culture and heritage.I apologise on theyre name.

[HaloFSky]

@Firewalkerbg He did took the melody...I think...We all have ears. And who are you to criticize what country has tradition and culture? Who are you that criticizes what others like and if they are grown up? If you have some knowledge as you trying so hard to show then why don't you tell us about personal choices? Not every people in this world face the truth that you meanie people try to accept. For me Xena and many series come from real life even if they are somewhat untruthfully sometimes

[Firewalkerbg]

@HaloFSky Since you can only see half of the conversation I don't see on what grounds are you even talking back to me. I don't have to excuse or explain myself for the fact that I afforded myself to point out the obvious ignorance in terms of folklore tradition, world culture and history. It's insulting that this song, which carries my NATIONAL culture is belittled to the name of some TV series. It's a couple of centuries older. That's what gives me the right to criticize the ignorance.

[HaloFSky]

@Firewalkerbg These TV series also carries something the most important Greek culture and it changed it a bit but with a nice way, no one misunderstood the production neither the LoDucas inspiration from Bulgarian music. Even if I didn't noticed I always knew that he was inspired by a very important deep music like Bulgarian. People are not stupid they say Xena because that's what comes to our mind but we know the roots of the music. And at the end it is not your own music to even bother

[Firewalkerbg]

@HaloFSky Well, apparently, my friend, you have not read the messages I was responding to, as their author got the decency to delete. They were indeed insulting. I know how the Greek treasure their culture, and Bulgarians are no different than that. If one told you the ancient Greek culture was nothing more but something you see in a casino in Las Vegas you'd feel the same as me :) Don't judge too fast, ok? :)

[Sourpouaki]

I am from Thraki, in Greece and my grandmother's family origins are from East Romulia in Bulgaria. Every time I listen to this I feel a bound in my heart!

[Malva88]

"madre, il flauto suona: ti ti suona in ogni angolo del villaggio. Madre andrò a vederlo, a vederlo e ascoltarlo. Se è un ragazzo del nostro villaggio lo amerò, ma per poco, ti ti. Se è uno zingaro invece lo amerò per tutta la vita, ti ti" Mother, the flute plays, ti ti plays in every corner of the village. Mother, I'm going to see it to see and hear it. If it's a boy of our village I'll love him, for a while, ti ti If it's a gipsy I'll love him for all my life, ti ti

[darksideofthe5un]

this is a very old spartan song

[FrauTuturutka]

@darksideofthe5un spartan??????? BULGARIAN!!!!

[darksideofthe5un]

@FrauTuturutka no no dude. i read in a macedonian journal that this song was written by Leonidas. And Leonidas was spartan indeed. right?

[FrauTuturutka]

@darksideofthe5un Das soll doch ein Scherz sein,oder?!? Die ganze Welt gehört Makedonen und alles hat griechische Herkunft?!? Sind etwa alle Lieder rechts in der Liste auch von Leonidas????Wenn nicht von ihm, stammen sie sicher aus Namibia, Kasachstan oder Grönland?!? Sicher! Nur nicht aus Bulgarien!

[darksideofthe5un]

@FrauTuturutka Dont speak turkish german cause i dont understand. 

[FrauTuturutka]

@darksideofthe5un Нищожен дребен интернет трол, чий потомък си ти? Сигурно на Александър Македонски...Неговото знаме ли развяваш?

[darksideofthe5un]

@FrauTuturutka Sam kurwa jestes internet trol.

[jwasmunch]

this is talent this is talent not all the stuff on the radio now a days who ever dislikes this video/song doesn't know what talent is

[chade2112]

This song is amazing, simply because of all of the musical concepts it contains... A full range of dynamics; compound time signature with a complex, but "feelable" rhythym; tension; dissonance and resolution... it tells a story.

After 20 some-odd years since the first time I heard this exact piece, it still remains one of my favorites.

[NickNP]

Тъкмо си помисля, че съм чул де що хубави български песни има и се появява нещо такова :)!

[jonkataLP1]

@NickNP :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

@purelle88  Aha!! :) grazie

[mi6obravoto]

Видеото го бива. Песента е..много жива. Ще ми се да имаше повече от това в заобикалящите ни обичайни и ежедневни мелодии.

[maartinatinky]

simply amazing..seen them live! pure gold! :)

[pansagittarius87]

there's something about these vocals that can't be explained with words...

[pansagittarius87]

wow, this was sampled in a Xena WP track....amazing....

[Birkafajzat]

We sing this song alot with our choir :D It's our favorite ^^

[Cage58]

i love this!

[thegogo1993]

i like songs like that very much i want to find songs like that .. where can i find? plzzzz :D :D

[milatamila]

@ thegogo1993 Here is my suggestion. Type Malka moma in the search bar and hit the first result that comes up. You could even see Malka moma located in the Related Videos on the right-hand side of this song (Kaval sviri). Then you might wanna check out the profile of bulgad - the person who uploaded Malka moma. He has plenty of these truly amazing songs by the Mystery (or Magic) of Bulgarian Voices..... :)

[kapturczyn]

thx

[kapturczyn]

does anybody knows words of these songs in bulgarian?

[milatamila]

Ako mi e nashencheto, shte go lyuba den do pladne

Chin-chin, do pladne...

Ako mi e yabandzhiiche shto go lyuba dor do zhivot (x2)

Kaval sviri.......

[milatamila]

Kaval sviri, mamo.... Chin-chin!

Gore, dole, mamo.... Chin-chin! (x2)

Kaval sviri, mamo gore dole,

gore dole, mamo, pod seloto,

ya shte ida, mamo, da go vida,

da go vida, mamo, da go chuya

(x2)

Chin-chin, chin-chin,

dum-dum, dum-dum. (x2)

[thegogo1993]

what this song says? does have enyone the lyrics ??

[milatamila]

The song is about a girl who listens to a kaval (some kind of wooden flute) playing somewhere in her village so she says to her mom that she will go find out who is actually playing the kaval. She goes: If it's the lad from the neighborhood, I will love him till tomorrow... If it's that stranger from the other village, I'll love him forever :)

[thegogo1993]

thank you my friend!!! :D :D

[artificialartificial]

@milatamila :) It's such a cool song. Our choir director said it was sung as a kind of metaphor of how they (girls) were often forced into arranged marriages, but they could not be forced to love someone. What an awesome message for an amazing song.♥

[jentoft]

this is the most beautiful song ive ever heard...

[xkyousukex]

Can somebody please put the lyrics in romanic?

Kyou!.

[Fenrish91]

Beautiful! Greetings from Hungary! :' )

[Misty9190]

[xkyousukex]

Maybe because it's deadly beautiful.

[XenaSoulmate]

Awsome ! I loved it in Xena!

[losert22]

its beautifull i feel like im not part of this world i feel like im somewere else thats calmer and soothing my mind

[divaexpatriate]

what does this song mean?

[SilentForce20]

Translation: A piper is playing in the village. Mother, if that piper is from our village, I will love him from today till tomorrow around noon. If he is from a neighboring village, though, I'll love him my whole life.

Kaval is a pipelike instrument, title means Kaval is playing or something like that ;)

[Katley99]
