The third CD in the folk instruments series is dedicated to the
gajda (bagpipe). This CD features 17 tracks of traditional Bulgarian
melodies played by master pipers from different regions of Bulgaria, including:
Georgi Mussorliev, Kostadin Varimezov, Georgi Doichev, Peicho Peev, Dimitar
Chupetlovski, Nikola Atanassov, etc. There are some seldom-heard recordings from
the archives of the Bulgarian Radio and some specially recorded for GegaNew
under the supervision of folk music editor Lili Hristozova. There are detailed
notes on the history of the Bulgarian gajda written by Prof. Manol
Todorov. There are rare examples from N.W. Bulgaria and even a track with a
double-chanter gajda from the Varna region. Most tracks festure solo
gajda players accompanied by tapan or small orchestra including several
good "danceable" tunes. Released in May 2004.
