The Bulgarian State Radio and Television Female Vocal Choir is an internationally renowned World Music ensemble that blends traditional six-part a capella repertoire with modern arrangements. It is most recognized under the recording name Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares. First created in Bulgaria in 1952 by Philip Koutev, "the father of Bulgarian concert folk music," the choir is now under the direction of Dora Hristova. Koutev also created and conducted the Ensemble of the Bulgarian Republic in 1951.

Singers are chosen from country villages for the beauty and openness of their voices, and they undergo extensive training in the unique centuries' old singing style. Influenced by Bulgaria's Thracian, Ottoman and Byzantine history, their music is striking in its use of diaphonic singing and distinctive timbre, as well as its modal scales and dissonant harmonies (abundant second, seventh, and ninth intervals).

Though the choir became widely known when the trend-setting English alternative record label 4AD released a pair of anthology albums in 1986 and 1988 with the now was originally released in 1975 on his small Discs Cellier label. Ivo Watts-Russell (founder of 4AD) was introduced to the choir from a third or fourth generation audio cassette lent to him by Peter Murphy, singer from the band Bauhaus. He became thoroughly entranced by the music, and tracked down and licensed the recordings from Cellier. The group has since performed extensively around the world to wide acclaim and were honored with a Grammy Award in 1989 for their second album.

Three prominent soloists of the group have also performed together as the Trio Bulgarka, notably on the Kate Bush albums The Sensual World and The Red Shoes.

In 1992, the choir divided into two: one for radio, one for television. Bulgarian television signed a contract with the one half, which is the Bulgarian State Television Female Vocal Choir; the other half organised itself as a collective, and now performs as The Bulgarian Voices ANGELITE.

Pomaks are like you and me - just changed religion! The Pomaks as different nation is just communistic propaganda!

[huskytail]

This is only recent influence, Turkey made and is still doing quite an effort to make every muslim from the Balkans a Turk. The politics of some Balkan countries, including Bulgaria and Greece are helping them a lot. Pomaks speak different Bulgarian dialects, each dialect is close to the dialects their Christian neighbours speak. So a pomak from Northern Bulgaria will speak like a Christian from there, and a pomak from the Rhodopes will speak like the Christians from the same place.

За добро вятър повея, мома Недельо Недельо.

Та и булото отвея, мома Недельо Недельо.

Момък се отко не страя, мома Недельо Недельо.

Та си невяста целуна, мома Недельо Недельо.
