Hey now! Don't be ragin' on Bulgarian women's choirs! I happen to be a big
fan! I have several cd's. One of my favorite's is the song Tadora; I love
the vocal effects. Shrill? Grating? No way!! It's way cool stuff! In
fact I'm thinking that Trelkairni singing should probably be some kind of
combination of Bulgarian women's choir and Mongolian throat singing!
