The info is also wrong. Raka is not a woman's dance, it's danced by both men and women and in some parts of Doubrudja it's not even danced in a closed horo but in a led one.
I am playing it now and it brings back such good memories. We danced this version at Columbia University on Sunday night in the early 70's. Searched via Cyrillic and found several "Ryka's" but not this one. ..LifeIsGood
@k2txc I used to dance it at California State University, Northridge back in the 1970's as part of the Thursday night crowd put on by the Folkdance Underground.
Great I share this on my facebook where I have several friends who danced with me in the mid 70's who've been looking for this recroding as well and they were so happy to hear it.
another youtube version uses this one in stereo for a few bars, the women dance and you can here the music in the background poorly recorded. I really would like to have that stereo version. The version we used in 1975 was a 45 rpm record and even then I think it was old. When was this recorded?? 50's 60's?

@cofycats I had also been searching for this particular one for quite a while- I figured since it wasn't available anywhere else I'd go ahead and post it once I got a copy.
@cofycats Bulgarian national radio owns the rights for most of the music which was recorded befor 1991. Thats why it is hard to get it. Altho there are many people who can play it today. maybe you can search here in youtube but in cyryilic no in latin alphabet (Добруджанска Ръка) - the latin name is not correct anway :P
