Balkan Melody

"Balkan Melody" is a documentary that follows the journey of Marcel and Catherine Cellier, who fell in love with traditional Balkan music during the Cold War era. They traveled across Eastern Europe, documenting and collecting sounds that were previously unknown in the West, and introducing the world to artists like Gheorghe Zamfir and the Bulgarian female vocal choir "Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares". Through their passion, they brought people together and created a legacy that continues to enchant audiences today. The film is a testament to the power of music to transcend borders and time, and to the enduring beauty of traditional Balkan melodies.
