Earlier this week we enjoyed a fantastic version of the Bulgarian traditional song “Dilmano Dilbero.” When we sing the song in class we tame the rhythms a bit, but we still do pretty well. “Dilmano Dilbero” is a song that is ostensibly about the pepper harvest. It’s important both in Bulgarian weddings and as a labor/work song, tying together the importance of both life-cycle events like marriages and the regular coming of the harvests. Plus, we get to chant about paprika.
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
