Masters in it are contemporary musical alchemists, synthesizing the new musical quintessence. Generally their “techne” is academism, understood like schooling in a special institution (higher music school), where music tuition combines European approaches and instruments with local musical idioms. Bulgarian “academic musicians” in the field of World Music are famous performers and composers, who (preserving local musical idioms) thanks to their academic music education have succeeded in transforming them into music of global distribution and significance. The text looks at projects of such “academicians” - leading Bulgarian names in World Music: Teodosii Spasov and “Balkanski kone”, Yulduz Ibrahimova, Georgi Petkov and the choir “Angelite”.
