about

The word “Patardia” means in Bulgarian “noise and uproar”, as well as mixing dissimilar sounds. This type of unexpected musical blend is the album’s base - compositions in which the kaval’s sound is intertwined with styles distant from its authentic sound. The starting point of this project is the Bulgarian traditional folklore music heritage, articulated with present-day musical language and techniques.

The tunes flow through different moods from tender to lively and playful, revealing the author’s personal story.
