Walking in the Yambol City centre this morning I caught the sound of an accordianist. It took a good couple of minutes to reach the source fo the music as the sound travels far on the flat concrete paved area of Yambol. A lone accordionist was playing and singing traditional folk music. There were no crowds today and his earning seemed to be zero unless he had recently gathered earning up and pocketed it. The musical talent in Bulgaria is widespread.Yambol is not the prettiest City in Bulgaria, but it does have a unique character which is now in the process of being captured by camera. What you see now in Yambol will be short lived in a world of change, especially with the EU strangling the heart and soul of Bulgaria's culture with directives and uniform regulations.

The Yambol Accordion Player

This Yambol accordion player was quite a lonely figure in the centre of the pedestrian part of the city. The music was traditional Bulgarian folk songs and he had a deep resonant voice that travel many hundred of metres along the flat paved area. Bulgarians do reward their musical entertainers here so he won't go hungry from lack of earnings today.
