    I have always been fascinated by the voices of Bulgarian women. I’d seen an early report on American television in the late 1980s. Shortly after seeing that doc, the album Le mystère des voix bulgares appeared on shelves of all the record stores near me.

    Initially, I perceived Kate’s decision to include Trio Bulgarka as somewhat exploiting this gem. After listening innumerable times, I grew to love the power and female sensuality that permeated the 2 albums she had done with them.

    Thank you for providing in-depth knowledge and archives of the trio and of Kate. This solidifies my experience of this otherworldly vocal tradition.
