Discover the authentic sound of Bulgarian folk songs with The Grannies from Svoge and Svidnya. Hailing from the northern border of the polyphonic Shope region, these talented singers are dedicated to preserving their unique folk heritage. The Svoge Group, formed in 1980, and the Svidnya Troika, formed in 1981, have been captivating audiences with their traditional vocal harmonies for decades. With singers ranging from 64 to 81 years old, their performances are a testament to the rich legacy of Bulgarian folk music.
The Svoge Group and the Svidnya Troika often participate at different folk festivals and celebrations, TV and radio programmes. During the past few years they have been working with the famous folk singer Snejanka Borissova.
"We know that these songs are ancient and beautiful. But we are the only ones who know this ... There is nobody to sing them now – nobody would set to do this. We feel very sorry about that…" These revelations of the grannies from Svoge and Svidnya speak of the value of this release.
