Redraw of an old idea I had, the gaang if they were Bulgarian/South Slavic.
Aang is inspired by shepherd's clothing mostly as well as some North- and Central- West Bulgarian clothing. Same for Sokka, but mostly CW (from the Shop region). Katara is a mix of Rhodope mountain and again CW styles. The butterflies are just so they don't stare in empty space lol

FOLK MUSIC HELP
OK! My lovely folk music people! I am desperately trying to find folk songs about Rusalki, but the language barrier has left me blocked ToT

Also if you know the english translations of the ones you know, I would thank you 1 million times to know what those songs are about 😭

Le Mystère des voix bulgares – Le mystère des voix bulgares: Volume 2
Le Mystère des voix bulgares – Le mystère des voix bulgares: Volume 2
Bulgaria, 1988, Bulgarian folk, polyphonic chant, white voice, a cappella
