Legendary Bulgarian singer Valya Balkanska and her incomparable bagpiper for the last 15 years - Petar Yanev will offer a rare afternoon of soulful music from the majestic Rhodope Mountains. They performs a repertoire of over 300 Bulgarian Folklore songs. Born in a hamlet near the village of Arda, Valya is one of the last artists in a generation who grew up singing in a traditional setting. Her recording of the beloved folk ballad Izlel e Delyo Haidutin, recorded by Pacific Northwest's Martin Koenig, was selected by scientist Carl Sagan for inclusion on the Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. In 2002, the Bulgarian government bestowed upon her the country's highest honor, the Medal Stara Planina. Izlel e Delyo Haidutin was used as the opening song for the Afghanistan documentary, Restrepo.
