Cimbal Fantasy

I don’t agree with the “fantasy” word in the name of this video.
Man can not have such a fantasy.
Fantasy comes from the mind.
This music doesn’t come from there.

Romica Puceanu – my favourite singer

Most people have favorite song.
I have one too.

Although I’m Bulgarian, my favorite song is Romanian.
It is the song of Romica Puceanu (pron. Puchanu) “Since I Love You”

Bensonhurst blues

Truden — Tue, 15 May 2007 20:19:12 +0000

For all cool SPAMMERS – Bensonhurst blues!

Here are the lyrics:

Broadway wonder
You’re such a success
Your pretty secretary, ha
She say you are the best

Your face always smiling
say you sure paid your dues
But I know inside
You’ve got the Bensonhurst blues

Those custom-made cigars
that you offer to me, pretend
and pretend to care about my family

And those pictures on your desk
All them guys did you abuse?
Did they know you suffer
from the Bensonhurst blues

Your grandmother’s accent
still embarrasses you
You’re even ashamed
of the French you once knew

You’re the part of a chance now
Baby you making the news
But I know inside
you’ve got the Bensonhurst blues

But thanks for the lesson
Cause the life that I choose
won’t make me feel like living
with the Bensonhurst blues

And don’t, don’t try to write me
And don’t bother to call
Cause I’ll be in conference
Merry Christmas you all

Hip hop music (Rap music)

Did somebody have ever had the curiosity to know where hip hop music comes from?
In Wikipedia I found this explanation about the roots of so called Rap music:

Hip hop music, also known as rap music, is a style of music which came into existence in the United States during the mid-1970s, and became a large part of modern pop culture during the 1980s.

As a musician I have always disagreed with the definition “black music” attached to the Jazz.
Now the world is very close to another cultural delusion.

If you grew up on the Balkans you’d know that “rap music” has its beautiful existence in the hundreds of years old folk music of this world region.

Rhyming in rhythm with music is known in the folk music of at least two Balkan nations – Bulgarian and Romanian.

Here is a small piece of Romanian folk music performed by Fanfare CiocÄƒrlia

Batuta la rind

This type of rhyming is used in the folk music of our two nations to invite the people for dance, to glorify person or event.
It is also used in a slow (large) rhythm, which sounds very tender and in the same time very powerful as an expression.
