The Horo Orchestra - Rousse is a true representation of the rich folk music tradition of North Bulgaria. This region is known for its fascinating folklore, which is a result of the interaction of various cultural groups, including the local population, Balkan people, and immigrants from Eastern Thrace. The orchestra has mastered the traditional music of the region, capturing the essence of its history and heritage. Even during the Turkish domination in Bulgaria, the Danube river served as a natural link with Central and Eastern Europe, allowing for a unique blend of musical influences.
