Looking for some music!

Hi! I am doing some research on how Balkan folk music tends to behave across borders. I've noticed, for example, that folk music & dance from the west of Bulgaria and the east of Serbia tends to follow similar musical measures and overall style or "vibe." I've noticed the same thing on either side of the Danube (Romania vs Bulgaria.)
I'm having a hard time finding nice/high-quality recordings of instrumental Romanian folk music that would be used for dance, does anyone have any links to YouTube or other online sources where I could search? Thank you!!

You could check Thrax punks for some greek folk/rock from Thrace if you’re Bulgarian. But of course there are pure traditional folk songs from Thrace on YouTube. You can get a taste. I think there should be some similarity with the folk music at the Bulgarian side. I know for sure they use Gaida extensively in the Bulgarian rhodope same as in Greek Thrace.

Western Thrace...if meant Greece (smalles part of Trakya)
North Thrace is Bulgaria (Biggest part of Trakya), while East Thrace is Turkiye
