Pembe Oro ("Pink Dance")
Pembe Oro is a very popular tune in Macedonia that comes to us via our accordionist Matt Schreiber. The title means "Pink Dance" (although we're not sure what that refers to).
In Macedonia or Southern Bulgaria you might hear a plucked and fretted stringed instrument called a Tambura that is commonly used in folkloric music. Our recording features guest banjoist, Bulgaria-born and New Orleans-living Georgi Petrov, playing a tenor banjo he borrowed for the session from our regular player, Patrick Mackey. This particular instrument, like the tambura, the mandolin or the 12-string guitar, features double string courses where there are eight strings, instead of four, tuned in unisons or octaves. With it's brighter sound and longer decay, it lends the track a bit of a different flavor than anything we've heard so far in Panorama's output.
