12 page booklet with notes on the music and instrument.

'Part of a new series aiming presenting the rich variety of traditional and modern folk instruments used in the performance of Bulgarian musical folklore.

The programme includes instrumental melodies and horo dances from Southwest Bulgaria, performed by musicians of the famous Kurtov Zourna Group. The zurna, a wooden whistle with cane reed and oboe-like sound, is among the most colourful wind instruments in traditional Bulgarian music. In the past, the zourna instrument was used throughout Bulgaria, but today this tradition has been preserved only in a limited region around the town of Petrich.'
