Kyuchek

A gypsy music style in Bulgaria involving a heavily oriental sound (Middle Eastern, Turkish) with bellydancing movements. In Bulgaria specifically, major record labels have taken notice of their target gypsy audience and have produced numerously successful kyucheks.

The lyrics of kyucheks are teasing, usually about a woman dominating a man and having him at her disposal (if Gloria's nameri si maystora and Sofi's stiga nomera are anything to go by). Ethnic Bulgarians have also performed kyucheks. It faces some criticism occasionally due to its total lack of indigenous Bulgarian roots.

It is especially popular with Muslim gypsies and there are other names for it in other areas of the Balkans. For example, in ex-Yugoslavia it is called čoček.

kiuchek

A sort of dance which in fact is nothing more than shaking your body to the left and to the right while twisting your belly and bottorn. It comes originally from the Arabian world and Turkey but there is such a dance in the gipsies' culture , too. It is very popular in Bulgaria, especially among the people who are regular visitors to chalga clubs. It may look quite tacky sometimes but yif you have enough clothes(I mean if there isn't such a big sexual context) on you it is quite funny and enjoyable. And a way to date a guy ;)
Unfotunately I couldn't find any pictures showing the "kiuchek" :(
