Nearly 300 carolers (koledari) danced through the streets of Yambol on the occasion of the Nativity of Christ. The local carol groups, called "kudi", started their tour late last night and continue today throughout the day, attracting hundreds of spectators - residents and guests of the town, BTA reported. 

According to ethnographers, the koledari tradition in Yambol is unique for the country. The local koledari stand out, as they are the only ones who not only sing and utter blessings, but also dance the Christmas Buenek – a boisterous male traditional dance.
