Hello Janas. This post is beautiful. I am back here to ask you for some more Bulgarian reposts down there in skafunkrastapunk. I am anxious to hear "Song of the Crooked Dance - Early Bulgarian Traditional Music, 1927-42" and "The magic of the Bulgarian music folklore. Balkanton, volume 3" that you posted there. I am very thankful for the last repost you did for me, "Magic of Rhodopa Mountain". I have a special feeling with Bulgarian traditions.
Thank you very much its always a joy to walk your blog.
José, Chile.

Hello, Jose! Thanks for the appreciations. The original posts have been updated with the new links.
Unfortunately I don't have the other "Bulgarian Musical Folklore" volumes.
For any other re-up requests, please send me a pm on sfrp.

Greetings,
Janas.
