East of the River: Bucimis (Bulgarian Dance)

The joy of Chanukah is reflected in the rich and varied musical traditions celebrated throughout the world. WQXR brings some of the diverse sounds of the season to The Greene Space for its annual Chanukah party.
Returning favorites East of the River play haunting Medieval music of the Mediterranean as well as traditional Middle Eastern melodies

I love Bucimis. It's a favorite with international folkdancers and a real workout. It's a linedsnce traditionally fine by men, but women in the US usually join in. I love dancing it.

Parece Celta...de hecho los celtas llegaron hasta el Asia menor

[@KanasAudan]

Los celtas fueron fuertemente influenciados por los tracios. Por ejemplo, los druidas son estudiantes de Zalmoxis, uno de los grandes sacerdotes principales tracios de los Getae.

why just a few likes?
gues ppl lost theyr ability for to recognize good music..

[@RatSlayerGaming]

Most western dialects don't have such a rhythmically accented language so the style is lost on them. It's a shame really. I've noticed a lot of western stuff is in patterns of 2, 4, or 8 but this one in particular and several traditional Bulgarian songs are built off the pattern of 7 and it's too much for most westerners to handle. I say this as a westerner

Buchimish from the Shoppe region (Sophia - Bulgaria)

[@potrebitel2008]

It's a Thracian dance, not from the Shoppe region
