Roumen Sirakov's Daichevo

Slip jig · 9/8 · G major

Roumen Sirakov's Daichevo is a traditional Bulgarian dance tune performed in G major. Set to an asymmetrical 9/8 meter characteristic of the daichevo rhythm, the piece features a lively and energetic character driven by rapid ornamentation typical of Balkan folk styles. Because specific historical associations and composer details for this traditional arrangement are not well documented, the tune is best known through regional performance traditions of Thrace.
