Bulgarian folk music is a musical genre, encompassing the music intended for presentation to the public, based on the traditional musical folklore in the Bulgarian land.

It was formed in the first half of the XX century, reproducing and reinterpreting pre-modern, mainly rural folk music, which is detached from its original ritual and everyday contexts. This is done in two main directions - attempts to preserve traditional music in a form as close as possible to its authentic form, and its adaptation to different needs of modern audiences - from high culture to popular music. [2]

In its nature and means of expression it varies according to the regions in which it originated, so it is divided into several folklore and ethnographic areas.

Let's have a look at the history of traditional music in Turkey.

In early 1930, .Mustafa Kemal Ataturk transformed the world of music in turkey entirely, by providing a speech that led to the banning of Alaturca music. The only music that was acceptable to the public was the one following the principle of Western tonal music

Hello everyone! I would like to tell you about traditional Estonian music.

Estonian epic poetry  has been extensively recorded and studied, especially those sung by women. They can come in many forms, including work songs, ballads and sung legends. Much of the early scholarly study of epic poetry was done in the 1860s by Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald, who used regilaul themes to compose the Estonian national epic, Kalevipoeg. By the 20th century, though, regilaul singing had largely disappeared from Estonia, with vibrant traditions existing only in Setumaa and Kihnu.

Traditional wind instruments derived from those used by shepherds, such as the karjapasun and vilepill, were once widespread, but are now more rarely played. Other instruments, including the fiddle, zither, concertina and accordion are used to play polka or other dance music. The kannel is a native instrument that is probably even more popular among the Estonian diaspora in North America than in its homeland, where well-known kannel musicians include Igor Tõnurist and Tuule Kann.

A notable example of an Estonian folk song is called "The herring lived on dry land", or simply "The herring song". According to its lyrics, in the ancient times the herring used to have legs and live on dry land. It used to destroy vermin, like rats and it was kept like a cat. One time a two masted sailing ship was transporting a large load of salt. Back then salt was expensive. Some unit of it called saam cost 100 of something in gold. There was a herring aboard the ship. The specific herring liked to eat salt, so it started to tunnel its way around the salt sacks. Eventually it accidentally chewed its way through the ships wooden hull, causing it to sink. This angered Neptune (the god of sea), who said to the herring: "Hey herring, because you chewed a hole into the ship and sunk the new ship, you will now have to live in seawater as punishment." The salt from the ship was released into the sea, resulting in the seas now having a salt composition.

Romanian traditional music is surprising, with hints of modernity, but also keeping an archaic tone.
The song "Lie, Ciocarlie" inspired by lark's unmistakable trills(Ciocarlie means Lark) this is the fine ballad of Romanian musical heritage that will remain as impressive and moving every time you listen to it. Hearing the first musical chords makes your feet go soft, your soul trembling, filled with a sense of compassion. Beyond these trivia, few know, however, that hidden behind this masterpiece is the grieving soul of a mother, and it is also a song of mourning.

Arabesque is a term created by Turkish musicologists for a style of music created in Turkey. Suat Sayın is generally considered the founder of the genre. Other well known older singers are Ferdi Tayfur, Müslüm Gürses and Hakkı Bulut. The pure Arabesque album “Acıların Kadını” (woman of pains) by the singer Bergen was the bestselling album in Turkey in 1986 and may be fairly labelled one of the classic albums of the genre. Here is the link of Bergen’s poplular song “Sen Affetsen Ben Affetmem”

The Salentinian Pizzica is a popular dance particularly widespread in the area of Salento, but in ancient times, also in Basilicata and Campania. It is a joyful, overwhelming and involving dance, to which it is difficult to resist.On the one hand it is energetic, frenetic, fast and elusive, on the other slowed down, composed and imperceptible, and then resumes at an even more incessant pace. To accompany the steps and movements, the energetic and relentless beating of the tambourine.To this dance so typical and characteristic of Puglia, are dedicated, especially in summer, numerous festivals and evenings. Typical among all is the "night of the taranta of Melpignano", a small village of only 2.228 inhabitants in the province of Lecce.the first testimonies of the pizzica date back to April 1797, period during which, the noble class of Taranto performed to the sound of jumps and tambourine to honor the diplomatic visit in the city of Taranto of the king Ferdinand of Borbone. Originally it was a joyful dance danced in moments of celebration or in private and family occasions.

 Not only pizzica salentina was also considered a therapeutic ritual and it was different from the one danced for parties. According to popular beliefs of the time, when unfortunate peasant women were bitten by the "taranta", a dangerous spider, they became possessed by its powerful poison. Their bodies were subjected to stinging pains and uncontrollable spasms. In order to free themselves from its poison, the "pizzicato" could dance for days or weeks at a time with an increasingly accelerated rhythm

Different interpretations have been given to this dance: besides being considered a therapeutic dance or a moment to have fun, it was and still is seen as a courtship ritual. One of the accessories par excellence of pizzica is the handkerchief. In the past, it was waved by the woman because it was thought that the vibrations caused by its shaking, were particularly suitable to exorcise "the bites of the tarantula".between two men instead the dance became a moment of challenge in which they confronted each other, exhibiting and showing off skills such as agility, creativity and physical performance.to dance the pizzica, it is not necessary to have particular physical skills or be professionals.
