It is true that much Bulgarian folk music is traditionally performed with a
rather nasal, straight tone. Some other eastern European ethnicities also
perform some of their folk music this way. However, much slavic folk music
is NOT performed this way, so do a little research into the performing
traditions of your music. If the traditional vocal production of your folk
pieces differs greatly from western classical tradition, I would suggest
explaining that in your program or in your comments from the stage.
Have a great time.
