This CD proves to be the natural sequel to the release called "Bulgarian Wedding" in terms of subject matter. It features in a synthesized form such a characteristic Bulgarian custom as the wedding is. "Wedding rejoicing " focuses on the feast part of the Bulgarian wedding giving the lead part to dancing and rejoicing.
Apart from the spontaneity of the whole process, yet there are some "fixed" dance performances. These are the dances of the bride, of the bridegroom, of the best man, of the matchmakers. This is also the grand wedding horo dance- a genuine garland, symbolizing aspirations for a long and happy life.
This CD is the best representation of how the Bulgarians entertain themselves on happy occasions such as a wedding. Immerse yourself into the authentic rhythm of the Bulgarian folklore music. Experience the way in which Bulgarian people celebrate and mark the important moments in their lives.
