With resounding throats and radiant hearts

One of Bulgaria's best choirs has a French name: Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares. Their overwhelming, arcane and mystical soundscape inspires artists such as Kate Bush and Lady Gaga. For 70 years, the women's choir has shaped the cultural face of Bulgaria, presenting a repertoire from the Balkan region that has been passed down for generations in new, dynamic arrangements. After Swiss ethnologist Marcel Cellier brought the recordings of the former radio and television choir to the world scene in the 1980s, the ensemble, with its special timbre, has become an integral part of the global music landscape.
