MEDENA ENSEMBLE Aotearoa Women sing Bulgarian Folk Songs
A evolving circle of Aotearoa/NZ women, enamoured with Bulgarian Folk Song, led by TUi MAMAKi. This ensemble explores vocal tone, bewitching harmony, playful rhythm and the colourful feminine fabric of a community blend. Be they Classic Bulgarian Folk Choir Arrangements, or Obscure Rural Treasure Songs, at times arranged for improvisation, these gifts are issue of Tui relationship with Bulgaria and its enchanted voices. Medena means “honeyed”!
