seltsames Intrument, aber nicht schlecht

seltsames??? das ist das schönste instrument das es gibt!!!

bravo!!!

Seltsam, war nicht negativ gemeint. Es ist nur so das ich eine Kaba Gaida noch nie gesehen, geschweige gehört habe.

tascuc: do you mean the aromanians sing this tune with words in their language?

"...not entirely dead," as in an Olympic marathon runner is "not entirely dead"? Seriously, Bugarian piping has to be as alive as Highland piping; you won't see a Bulgarian festival without their "gaida." BTW there's a bagpipe in northern Spain called the "gaita."

I really love the perky girl w/ the poofy hair tied back. What are these people playing?

Браво на нашите!

Много ми хареса!

Живи, здрави и все така!!!

That's not true! There is no difference between the bagpipes of bulgarian christians and bulgarian muslims. Such a thing as "pomaks gaida" doesn't exist.

Now that's a neat trick. He takes the blowpipe out of his mouth to sing, but blocks it with his chin so he can keep playing at the same time, then gets it back into his mouth without missing a beat. I'm impressed.
