Day 46:”Testimonial, Challenges and Music as Identity”

#50Days4Refugees Day 46:”Testimonial, Challenges and Music as Identity”
Today we share three short interviews with Krasimira Zaneva, an employee of the Bulgarian National Agency for Refugees who also works in the Ovcha Kupel Refugee Camp as a Musical Therapist.

Part III: “Music is their identity,” Krasimira states, when speaking about how the displaced people with whom she works feel deep connections to their home countries’ music. As Krasimira offers, “They revel in performing it: both dance and song.” She also speaks in today’s clip about the fact that there are actually so many similarities between the Bulgarian (and Balkan in general) folk music and Kurdish music! Be sure also to stay tuned for the final clip at the end of this video, in which you can experience a heart-wrenching song about the Mother, sung by one of our little friends.
