Theodosii Spassov and Nikolai Genov

TV

Bulgarian wooden flute Theodosii Spassov was born on March 4th, 1961. He began his early training on the kaval at the Kotel Music School and The Academy of Music and Dance in Plovdiv/Bulgaria. The kaval, an eight-hole wooden "shepherd" flute, is one of the oldest Instruments in Europe, rich in tone and technical possibilities. Theodosii Spassov has developed his own unique style of playing the instrument by synthesizing traditional folklore with jazz, fusion and classical music. For over 20 years, Theodosii has toured all over Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Australia, Canada and United States. In 1994, he performed with Sofia Women's Radio Choir which was awarded with a Grammy award for "Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares". In April of 1995, "Newsweek" magazine recognized Theodosii Spassov as one of the most talented Eastern-European musicians in its "best of the East" article, noting that "Spassov. is not merely surviving the post-communist cultural wasteland. He has actually invented a new musical genre."

1/2 billion people use the cyrillic alphabet, which was invented in the 1st Bulgarian Tzardom, i can go on and on. Let me ask u: where does your ass-fucked culture come from? From England! And if we contributed to the destruction of Byzantium, of which fact i am proud, u were fucked in the hairy asses constantly by the English!!! pathetic pig, we survived for 1400 years and we will survive in the next 1400 years. And u will be always in the shadow of the greater England.

wow, you know about bai ganio, very interesting. let me tell ya, bitch boy. bulgaria was very powerful state and it will return its glory. scottish liliput successes are a geographic matter. if u were on the Balkans u wouldn't form as a nation and a state. Chinese calender?? r u brainfucked?? Civilized by Byzantium? our culture is original bulgar-slavonic culture. the only thing that we adopted from byzantium was the orthodox faith, which was a great cultural mistake.

No wonder you're such a fervent nationalist, there's no doubt so much to compensate for your unfortunate current way of being. Don't worry, you'll reach the prosperity of the West some day. Even if it's not in your lifetime.

[HellesBringer]

I'm talking about a World-wide impact here. Not some barbaric state nobody's heard of. Founded in 681 Bulgaria who had adopted the Chinese calendar, it's khans fought as mercenaries for gold, drinked from the emperor's skull and contributed to the destruction of it's teacher, Byzantium. "Go back to school" Says the man who can't read his own history books about the origin of his people. :P

You've been owned, you chauvinisting dog. Nobody has heard of you for a reason.

@HellesBringer but you are taling about History last 200 years max.. Bulgaria exist as a country since 2-3 century. And as a people much earlier. Bulgarian calendar is the most exact known on earth. Bulgarian folkore (not only music) is the richest in the world. We are the people who saved Europe fro Arab Invasion - Khanas Ubigii Tervel. We were cultural center from 7 - 10 century and Bulgarian language is even today most used in East Europe and Russia. Go back to school poor scotish

[HellesBringer]

Bulgaria was never a center of anything before being civilized by Byzantium.

When Adam Smith created the foundations of modern Economics and Capitalism, when the Scottish people were leaders of the Enlightenment of the North, the Industrial revolution and the greatest empire the world had ever known... then, the Bulgarians were the illiterate backward ancestors of "Bay Ganyo"
