Summary/Abstract: After September 9, 1944, the new authorities created new avenues, tasks, and opportunities for musicians and performers, as well as for folk music researchers. Immediately after the establishment of the Institute of Music (1948), a department of folk music was established and assigned the task to conduct fieldwork and record new folk songs about the revolutionary struggles, guerrilla movement, the new village. The article focuses on the paths taken by Bulgarian folklorists (Raina Katsarova, Elena Stoin, Ivan Kachulev) in search, recording, and presentation of these new songs and their singers. Archival records at the Institute of Art Studies, BAS and published studies of the 1950s are used.
