APOSTOL KISSYOV
RHOPODE FOLK SONGS
Balkanton, 1989, VNA 12529
A. Kissyov was both a singer and a piper. He was instrumental in bringing one hundred bagpipers to the meadows near Rozhen in 1961 along with one hundred thousand participants. He taught hundreds of young pipers.
Here he sings accompanied by either one kaval and two tamburas or two kabagaida. The tracks with kabagaida are the most vibrant I find. Table songs and dance songs alternate enhanced by his nice voice and traditional way of singing.
Text in Bulgarian and English.
