    Mystery sounds of Bulgaria

    South-East Advertiser (Australia)
    September 1, 2004 Wednesday


    WHAT: Zhiva Voda
    WHERE: Bemac Indoor Space,
    Yungaba, 120 Main St, Kangaroo Point
    WHEN: Friday, September 3
    BOOKINGS: Phone 3391 4433

    MYSTERIOUS and spine-tingling Bulgarian close-harmony singing will be
    performed as part of Bemac's Cultivart series this Friday.

    Bemac's Sebastian Flynn said the event, titled Mystical Water, was
    named after the trio Zhiva Voda (which carries the same meaning) and
    features Morningside's Bulgarian singer Reni Pavlova Bojilov, and
    singer and choir conductor Ann Bermingham.

    Mr Flynn said the group would be accompanied by Bulgarian musician
    George Gaydov playing Gaida (Macedonian bagpipe) and Gadulka (a bowed
    stringed instrument).

    "They present an array of traditional songs from Bulgaria, the
    Balkans and Macedonia together with traditional instrumental music
    performed by George Gaydov," he said.

    "From village music to film music, the mysterious tones of Bulgarian
    singing have enthralled the world."

    The Armenians, comprising Patrick and Heidi Keogh, will present
    centuries-old dances.

    Heidi was born in India but has an Armenian background and Patrick is
    originally Irish.

    Mr Flynn said the dance was a stylised form of cultural memory of a
    nation eradicated from its homeland and resurrected on foreign soils.
