<p>How do you write a review of a performance dance group that wears Viking costumes, uses bones to play their drums, and has pyrotechnics so badass that I could feel them twenty rows back in the audience? I was clapping so hard during <a href="https://www.facebook.com/VAKALI.group/" title="Vikali group on Facebook">Vakali&rsquo;s</a> performance at the <a href="http://www.ndk.bg/">National Palace of Culture (NDK)</a> in Sofia last week that my hands <em>still hurt</em>?</p>

<p>As you drive into the village of Gela in southern Bulgaria a sign informs you that this is the birthplace of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orpheus">Orpheus</a>, the legendary Thracian musician and poet. I&rsquo;m not sure if it&rsquo;s true, but who <em>wouldn&rsquo;t</em> be able to &ldquo;charm all living things and even stones&rdquo; with their music if they were born in a village with such a view? These are the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodope_Mountains">Rhodope Mountains</a> in the golden afternoon sunlight of early spring.</p>
