Great job, Stephen! During the period 1974-1976 I was assigned to the American Embassy in Sofia, Bulgaria. This was during the reign of Todor Zhivkov, and Bulgaria was known as "the sixteenth Soviet republic" because they slavishly followed the Soviet line. Nevertheless, Bulgarian music was really a joy to listen to, and it had (to me) a rather exotic sound. Your tambura brings back fond memories. Cheers, Bill

quote:
There is an ancient connection between Hungary and the people of the Asian steps in (Central Asia The Hungarians today (Magyars) actually are a result of a great migration of people from the Steppes to present-day Hungary. No doubt, cultural (including music) attributes followed them. Let me ask you, Stephen, if there is a Finnish instrument similar to the Tambura? The reason I ask is that the Hungarian language is the only known language related to Finnish, as the Finns also are a result of migration from the Steppes. I had never thought about it before, but I wonder if their is a Finnish version of the Tambura? Cheers, Bill
