Leb i Vino are the first and, to this moment, the only local artists who maintain the idea of preserving folklore in such a way and performing the activities, presented at this site.
Leb i Vino collect, preserve, record and carry out live performances of authentic songs and dances. They also present these songs and dances at international festivals, exhibitions and lectures in order to popularize the traditional lifestyle and culture of the town of Melnik and the entire Pirin region.
Leb i Vino`s activities include:
- Restoration and hand-making of authentic folklore instruments in order to keep the traditions alive
- Participation in the program Living Transmition of Folklore Lifestyle and Culture – ancestors, contemporaries and future generations
- Study and collection of textile art (carpets, national costumes, folk-style clothes and others) and hand-making of new pieces. In this way Leb i Vino aim to contribute to the preservation, development and continuation of this representative tradition
- Study of the authentic old iconography art and creation of our own works, true to the same style and spirit
- Creation of paintings, inspired by the folklore art, which makes this art popular among contemporary connoisseurs in Bulgaria and abroad
Leb i Vino are against and do not tolerate:
- Modifying the structure and nature of local folklore without informing the audience about these changes
- Presenting new products as pure tradition
- Stylizing tradition and presenting stylized folklore under the name “traditional”
Leb i Vino would like:
- every person to discover his/hers distinguishing feature in the World (such as native tradition and character)
- this feature to be preserved and handed down to the next generations
- to preserve diversity as a universal wealth
