The 333 Bulgarian folk musicians gathered in central Sofia, Bulgaria on May 16, 2012, blowing their kaba gaidas - bagpipes from the Rhodope mountains in south Bulgaria - to set the first such Guinness world record.
Dressed in traditional colorful Rhodope costumes, bagpipers performed this epic and famous folk song - Delyu Haidutin - which was included in a Voyager golden record with the songs and sounds of our planet and sent as a message to space by NASA in 1977
American(BULGARIAN) physicist John Atanasoff(BULGARIAN IMMIGRANT) built the first rudimentary electronic computer in the late 1930s and early 1940s, although for several decades afterward credit for the first electronic computer went to the scientists who assembled the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) for the United States military by 1945. Danish physicist Allan Mackintosh recounts in a Scientific American article how Atanasoff first conceived of the design principles that are still used in present-day computers.
