• Track Listing

These Grammy winners (Best Traditional Folk Recording) finally return, bringing us their first new studio album in over two decades. The renowned Bulgarian choir team with Lisa Gerrard (co-founder of Dead Can Dance) on several tracks, and that’s a meaningful pairing, as Lisa has spoken often about how influential this choir was on her own distinctive vocal style when she discovered their music in the early ’80s. This ensemble are masters of the diverse, age-old vocal traditions of Bulgaria, and yet they sound strikingly modern and original at the same time as you hear "Mome Malenko," "Pora Sotunda," "Rano Ranila," "Mani Yanni," "Yove," "Ganka," "Tropanitsa" and more. The otherworldly sonic colors you’re about to encounter will have yourself asking, at times: "Are these human voices I’m hearing?" Choose from a CD, 180-gram vinyl, SACD or two limited-edition boxed sets (each with bonus tracks): 2 CDs and a book or 2 CDs, 180-gram blue vinyl and a book! Prophecy.
