Thank you again Susan J. for the following Folk Dance "Tidbit":
When people hear the name "Boris Karloff", they usually think of the English actor who took this as a stage name, and used it in his roles in horror movies.
But the REAL Boris Karlov was an accomplished Bulgarian accordianist, who recorded a lot of wonderful music on the Bulgarian record label HORO (this means "circle dance", and in Cyrillic is looks like XOPO.) See this entry for information on this musician:

Some of his tunes are regulars on the folk-dance circuit. You can check out YouTube to listen to some of these.

Hi!
ReplyDeleteI was reading your blog posts. I wrote something on Boris Karlov nearly two years ago. Many of the tunes that we use at dance are recordings of his; despite the fact he passed on nearly 50 years ago, they are still popular. You may find this of interest: http://katleyplanetbg.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-legacy-of-boris-karlov-bulgarian.html
