ID this Bulgarian song, please.

Okay, Hive Ear. Identify this Bulgarian tune.

I've asked Radio Bulgaria. I've inquired with Yves Moreau. I've listened to virtually every clip at BulgarianCDs.com, Bulgarian-Music.com, Bulgariana, or anywhere else you'd care to name. And, in a fit of desperation, I've spent about $300 buying up Bulgarian folklore music directly from the source, hoping to drag the river to catch the gemstone.

But I still can't identify this Bulgarian folk song. Anywhere.

The Hive Ear has caught virtually* everything of mine before, so I have no reason to believe otherwise now.

Any leads, dear readers?



(* this one remains unsolved. Revisit while you're here!)

Response by poster: And, yes, before we get all kinds of pedantic, I am sure it's not strictly a "folk song," as it is audibly part of the state-sponsored tradition of arranged modern music which takes cues from folkloric music, popularized by the likes of Phillip Koutev, but let's not get picky with the genre distinctions just yet.
