The MAGIC of Bulgarian Voices & music - Prituri se Planinata & "Time of Violence " movie

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096403/
In the 17th century, a Bulgarian Christian region is selected by the Ottoman rulers to serve as an example of conversion to Islam. A Janissary who was kidnapped from the village as a boy is sent to force the reluctant inhabitants to convert. The Turkish governor seeks a peaceful solution, but ultimately torture, violence, and rebellion break out. 1668. The jihad is in its heat in the Southeastern Europe. A corps of janissaries is commissioned to the Rhodope Mountains under the command of Karaibrahim. At the time, he was, as all the janissaries were, kidnapped from his Bulgarian family, raised as a Muslim, trained to be a ferocious warrior and convert infidels to Islam in a most brutal way. His cruelty stuns even local Ottoman ruler. He stops at nothing but the resistance of some of the locals is invincible. The struggle is half a success, there are many converts, the death toll is heavy, but all the Bulgarian keep their language and traditions on.
Stefka Sabotinova was born in Thrace, Bulgaria's large southern plain. Her native village Rozov Kladenets (Rose Well) is no longer there -- it lies at the bottom of a huge dam. The signer however, often revisits the sweet memories of its beautiful nature. She calls that lost place, a Paradise, surviving today in folk songs only. Most of her songs Stefka learned from her grandmother. Her granny had in fact borrowed some of them from a once famous local singer who had migrated to Bulgaria from Greece. With this priceless musical capital Stefka Sabotinova ran for a place in the prestigious state folk song and dance ensemble Fillip Koutev. Back in 1954 when she was just 21, her original song selection and magnificent voice did impress the selection panel. She was immediately selected, and composer Fillip Koutev arranged some of the songs she brought. They are still part of the ensemble's programs though its one-time soloist.

Upon leaving Fillip Koutev ensemble, she continued her career in the Bulgarian National Radio folk ensemble. Her voice is part of the magic in the Mystery of Bulgarian Voices. "In my life, happy moments came somewhat late", Stefka Sabotinova says. When her voice was in its prime, and she herself -- charged with creative enthusiasm, Stefka was well known but only to a limited circle of professionals. Her world fame took her by surprise and came at a much later stage. A dozen years ago the lovely Thracian song The Mountain Went Dark was on the market in a contemporary version, but with her lovely voice. The video of the song became quite popular and was aired in Europe. She woke to a new, and unexpected popularity. Over the recent years, Stefka Sabotinova has been starring in most major concerts. And more often than not she sings her greatest hit, The Mountain Went Dark.

Late glory and its opportunities have lead Stefka Sabotinova to the noble cause of charity. She has devoted time and resources to some of the country's orphanages. The funds raised Sabotinova has donated to Raina Kabaivanska Foundation for the support of talented underprivileged children. As to her private life, her greatest joy is her grandson Mitko. And she has an extraordinary hobby -- the lady with the fine voice is very keen on hunting. She also spends some time cultivating her garden shining with incredibly beautiful flowers.
For five (5) centuries the Bulgarian land were tread by invaders' feet.Under TURK'S slavery
Thousands and thousands of innocent people -Bulgarians- is dead. 5 000 people of the 6-7 000 population of Batak had been slaughtered in the massacre- for one day . England, France, Europe ...evrybody knows ...but Only look on.

Ottoman Empire .....

@birkedogama you are so ignorant it hurts.

[MrLqlqlq]

@petgeo66 то Македония е област на България, но нали е имало специален закон там - който каже, че е българин го е отнасял. Така че нищо чудно да е българска песен от област Македония :) Иначе "македонците" ако ги питаш то и Бербатов е най-добрият македонски футболист и прочие други смешни работи. Остана само да вдигнат един паметник и на Тутанкамон като първия македонски владетел и всичко ще им е на 6 :)))

[birkedogama]

@ta6yLMAO Dummies. Ottomans did not hurt anyone. 18. large forces of the century the Ottomans, this is a lie fabricated to easily break down. See your religious brothers and sisters. See the Byzantines. Before going to the Ottoman Balkans. Bulgarians killed half of the Byzantine. Massacres in the Byzantine. And Lost your Turkish. Have you because of Byzantine Slav.

[ta6yLMAO]

@birkedogama Merciful? It's a commonly known fact that the Ottoman empire commited countless barbaric and brutal atrocities acros it's boarders to the nations which they conquered.... the population of Bulgaria in the 15th century was ~ 2,000,000 it went down to 300-400,000 to the end of the 16th century and that is documented by ottoman archives, many people migrated to northern and western europe, the rest were put victims to systematic slaughter and mass conversions, please don't deny this :]

Значи не искат да научат български и цял живот живеят с мечтата да довлекат

тука братовчедите от цитаделата т.е Турция.В общи линии имат поведението

на дремещ злокачествен тумор.Омръзна ми да слушам претенциите им за езика за обичаите им за вярата им.Кои са те. Не е ли по нормално в България да се говори за българи,а който иска да е друго яче да си ходи в

лйубимата ,мечтана родина ли не знам как да я нарека
