Can anyone tell me what
those beautiful modal harmonies are being used
in Bulgarian tradtiional women's singing groups.

I'm referring to the harmonies used on that classic early
recording of Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares.

Someone told me that they are using 2nds for their harmonies but I can't tell whether
they are parallel 2nds or not.

Does anyone in the tribe have that knowledge?

I'd be very grateful. I"m doing a lot of acapella singing in my live looping/found sound performances
and I'd love to incorporate some of that style of harmony wiht some of the Central African Pygmy yodelling
styles (throwing in some Tuvan and Tibetan overtone singing and a little bit of Faux Industrial Beatboxing for good measure :-)

Thanks,
