За „другостта“ и метафорите на Йълдъз Ибрахимова в „Балкантолия“
On „Otherness“: The Metaphors of Yildiz Ibrahimova in her „Balkantolia“

Summary/Abstract: The study argues on the changing attitudes towards the different/exotic, seen in the context of a seemingly homogenizing global culture. Drawing on the concepts of multiculturalism and aesthetical non-centrism observed in different fields of contemporary music, the analysis presents the personal artistic understanding for the freedom in music as seen by the female Bulgarian-born jazz singer of Turkish descent Yildiz Ibrahimova. The attention is focused on her 1997 album Balkanotolia (labeled as ethno-jazz) and its specific nonverbal metaphors aiming to tackle frozen categories of the self-other dichotomy by combining and interpreting specific Bulgarian and Turkish folk material from the pre-supposed ,,common Balkan stock”.
