Wedding band Kabile comes back to Dallas
One of Bulgaria's premier traditional wedding bands has reunited after 14 years to record a CD album of traditional Bulgarian dance music and is coming to the Dallas area on November 13, 2010.
This multi-talented group of musicians from Thrace, in southern Bulgaria, played together for nearly 20 years until Donka and Nikolay Kolev emigrated to the U.S. in 1995.
In late 2007, the two émigrés returned to Bulgaria to record Kabile Reunion with their former band members. The debut CD contains 11 of the most popular numbers from their years as a group and includes both vocal and instrumental versions of native Bulgarian songs.
Kabile was formed in 1978 and became one of the most popular bands in Thrace. Based in the city of Yambol, the group took its name from the village of Kabile, where they performed one of their earliest gigs. The group specialized in performing native music on traditional village instruments. During its heyday, the band played almost every weekend at weddings, baptisms and cultural festivals in Thrace.
The members of the band are Dzhenko Andreev (gaida), Ivan Handzhiev (vocals, accordion), Angel Krastev (tapan), Nikolay Doktorov (kaval), Nikolay Kolev (gadulka), and Donka Koleva (vocals).
