The music of Thrace, a region in Southeastern Europe spread over southern Bulgaria (Northern Thrace), northeastern Greece (Western Thrace), and European Turkey (Eastern Thrace), contains a written history that extends back to the antiquity, when Orpheus became a legendary musician and lived close to Olympus.[1] Though the Thracian people were eventually assimilated by surrounding Balkan groups, elements of Thracian folk music continue.
Traditional Thracian dances are usually swift in tempo. They are mostly circle dances in which the men dance at the front of the line. The gaida, a kind of bagpipe, is the most characteristic instrument, but clarinets and toumbelekis are also used. The Thracian gaida, also known in ancient Greece as askaulos, is different from the Macedonian or other Bulgarian bagpipes. It is higher in pitch then the Macedonian gaida but less so than the Bulgarian gaida (or Dura). The Thracian gaida is also still widely used throughout Thrace in northeastern Greece.
