BACKGROUND

Information: This rhythm (7/8 or 7/16: 1-2, 3-4, 5-6-7) seems to occur in countries surrounding the Black Sea, although it occurs most frequently in Bulgaria.

Do not confuse this 7/8 rhythm (q-q-S), accented as 1-2, 1-2, 1-2,3, with the other 7/8 rhythm (S-q-q), accented 1-2-3, 1-2, 1-2.
