Затова и всяка програма с циганска музика от този регион се посреща с много голям интерес. Сред представителите на българските цигани има много елитни музиканти, ... |

There is less than one hundred Thracian stone-built under-tumular constructions in Bulgaria that are usually called tombs. Most of them were found half-demolished or were demolished subsequently. Thirteen such buildings were constructed in the Kazanlak valley (fig. 1).
