"Bre Petrunko" is a traditional Bulgarian folk song, often performed by women's choirs like The Great Voices of Bulgaria, featuring a "rhythmic explosion" of Balkan polyphonic singing. It is characterized by uneven meters, a fast-paced Pravoslavno Horo (dance) rhythm, and intense "open-throated" vocal techniques. The lyrics tell a playful, narrative story about a young woman named Petrunka leading a dance, sometimes interrupted by a "wild fellow".

The song is a Pravoslavno Horo (a type of Bulgarian folk dance) characterized by complex, fast-paced, and often uneven, asymmetrical rhythms. It is renowned for its intense, dissonant, and raw, open-throated vocal harmonies.

The lyrics describe a search for a place to dance, focusing on a village where Petrunka leads the dance, though sometimes a "wild man" joins and disrupts it, causing a commotion.
