About Philip Kirkorov. How is it possible for an Armenian to be Bulgarian? We in Bulgaria
do not have the Bulgarian names Kirkor and Garabed. We only have comic stories for these
two names, who may have been born in Bulgaria, but Bulgarians are not and will never be
there. Remember this speech well. Remember well and do not offend the great Bulgarian
nation. Let him wander the world in peace with his young 75 years wife , but do not put
him in the category of Bulgarian artists.

Our new column “Bulgarians Abroad” is aimed at bringing you the stories of Bulgarians
living near and far outside Bulgarian borders. Today, there are more than two million
Bulgarians living in different corners of the globe –studying, working, raising their
families and building “their own” Bulgaria far from its geographical boundaries. Their
stories and the conversation with them and about them awaken a host of patriotic feelings
and emotions, give rise to nostalgia and yearning for one’s homeland. Bearing in our hearts
the thought of Bulgarians and all things Bulgarian existing out there, far from our native
land, the team of Radio Bulgaria is committed to go deeper into the joys and sorrows,
the choices, achievements and important decisions in the lives of our compatriots all
around the world. We will be really excited if you get in touch us with, completing the
stories of those people we talk about! New on our site will be "Я надуй бабо кавала"
What do we know for composer Emanuil Manolov. The arts of Bulgaria. Manolov, Emanuil
Ivanov was born in 1860 in Gabrovo. In the beginning of the 80’s of the XIX century,
he entered the Moscow conservatory, where he studied theoretical subjects, piano and
flute. After that, he worked in Bulgaria as a teacher in music and a bandmaster in Kazanlak,
Plovdiv and Asenovgrad. All of his activity as a pedagogue, a conductor and a composer
is closely connected with Kazanlak, where he has created most of his works.
Emanuil
Manolov is author of the first Bulgarian opera “Poor woman” (1900). He has created
program pieces for orchestra, for a brass orchestra – four branches based on Bulgarian
folk tunes. He has composed several instrumental pieces for piano, flute and violin. Most
of his creations are vocal: three branches of Bulgarian folk songs for mixed choir, songs
and duets for solo singing and vocal ensembles with piano, marches, seven mass chants,
children and school songs.. The first performances of Bulgarian classical music date from
the 1890s, and the earliest Bulgarian opera, by Emanuil Manolov, was performed in
1900. He, along with other Bulgarian composers, concentrated on solo and choral vocal
works. Between World War I and World War II, several symphonies and works for ballet,
in addition to choral and opera works, were created by such composers as Lyubomir
Pipkov, Petko Stainov, and Pancho Vladigerov.
What do we know about Raina Kabaivanska. "I was just a child in Burgas, Bulgaria, where
I was born, when a gypsy woman stopped me to read my palm," says Raina Kabaivanska,
sitting on a couch in her home in Modena on a foggy autumn morning. "My parents said
‘Come away, come away.’ But, of course, I stopped. She took my hand and, after studying it,
said, I see you as a tsarina, with a magnificent crown on your head." In fact, Raina has
worn many crowns during her life on stage, and her name, which means "river nymph" in
Bulgarian, sounds a lot like "reina" or "queen" in her adopted language, Italian. Raina
Kabaivanska turns 90 on December 15, and in her beautiful, bright home full of art, she
indulges in her memories despite the foggy weather. And she does so with the personality
and intelligence she has always displayed throughout her 70-year career, on and off the
stage. There is something very Balkan about the way she talks about herself. She is aware
of the importance of her career, but her smile is welcoming and wry, even though she
knows she always wears a crown. That fatalism is deeply Balkan, a constant reminder that
her life has turned out the way it has by sheer chance, thanks to happy little steps that
happened without too much effort on her part.
What is the Bulgarian singer Nicolai Ghiaurov known for in the world? Bulgaria bass Nicolai
Ghiaurov was one of the world’s finest singers throughout the latter half of the 20th century.
Born on Sept. 13, 1929, in Velingrad, his childhood featured musical studies in violin, piano,
and the clarinet. He would go to study at the Bulgarian State Conservatory and later the
Moscow Conservatory. His vocal career got off to a tremendous start when he won the
Grand Prix at the International Vocal Competition in 1955, followed by the Gold Medal at
the Fifth World Youth Festival in Prague. That same year he made his opera debut in Sofia
and then would start appearing at the major theaters, including debuts at La Scala in 1959
and the Covent Garden in 1962. In 1961, he shared the stage with soprano Mirella Freni for
the first time and the two would be married soon thereafter. They would frequently perform
and record together throughout their respective careers. In 1963, he made his US debut at
the Lyric Opera of Chicago, where he enjoyed a lengthy career. In 1965, he made his Met
Opera debut, singing for a whopping 31 years in over 80 performances. He would record
the first complete stereo version of “Don Quichotte” in the 1970s. He passed away in 2004.
Signature Roles. Ghiaurov’s early career success revolved around his famed interpretation
of Méphistofélès in “Faust,” the role serving as his first performance with Freni and then
his Chicago and Met Opera debuts. But he was also a major Verdian, taking on roles in
such operas as “Don Carlo,” “La Forza del Destino,” “Simon Boccanegra,” “Aida,” “Nabucco,”
and, especially, the Requiem.
84 years since the birth of Bulgarian operatic diva Ghena Dimitrova. The Day of the
Bulgarian Army, the Orthodox and folklore St. George's Day, the 6th day of May adds yet
another reason for celebration for music lovers around the world - on this date, 84 years
ago, the great Bulgarian opera singer Ghena Dimitrova was born. She is among the musical
emblems of Bulgaria, she is recognized as one of the best singers of Verdi’s operas, who
left fond memories with her students, admirers and followers.Artist Profile: Soprano
Ghena Dimitrova, The Perfect ‘Turandot’. Ghena Dimitrova, born on May 6, 1941. Her
massive voice was recognized from her youth when she sang in the school choir in her
native Bulgaria. She actually started teaching once she got out of the conservatory but
wound up making a major breakthrough in 1967 at the Bulgarian National Opera in
Verdi’s “Nabucco” after a few sopranos dropped out of the production. From there she
won a prize that allowed her to study in Milan. She would slowly but surely create an
international career that lasted her until she retired in 2001. Iconic Roles. Dimitrova’s
powerhouse voice was undeniably suited to heavier repertoire and she shone in two
roles in particular – Abigaile in “Nabucco” and the title role of “Turandot.” Abigaile was,
of course, her breakout role at the Bulgarian National Opera, and her interpretation
famously developed over her career, the soprano adding an interpolated high C at the
climax of the cabaletta “Salgo già.” Her work in “Turandot” was renowned for her
assuredness of vocal power and it became a vehicle for many high profile debuts at such
houses as the Metropolitan Opera, Treviso, and La Scala. The soprano famously said,
“Turandot may not be my favorite part, but it shows off the voice to great advantage.
The way the music is written, you need a voice like a trumpet to do it justice.” Watch
and Listen. Get a load of her “Turandot” interpretation here in the opera’s most famous
aria “In questa reggia.”
Lili Ivanova was born in the small town of Kubrat. She graduated from the nursing school in
Varna and worked as a nurse for a very short time. Her career as a singer begins in the early
1960s. She achieved recognition in 1963 as a singer with the variété show at Ambassador
Hotel. Ivanova wins her first prize "Golden Key" in 1966 in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia. In the
years that follow she receives over 10 international awards and numerous local recognitions.
In 1997, the International Women association nominated Ivanova as one of the most famous
women of the 20th century. In 1999 Ivanova was awarded the highest Bulgarian State Award,
"Stara Planina" medal, for her contribution to the Bulgarian pop music. During 1981–1987

by "Lili 86" in 1986 and "A big Wedding" in 1989. The biggest name in Bulgarian pop music,
Lili Ivanova, will perform a special concert in Brussels on March 6, 2024, at the iconic
FLAGEY hall. The event is at the invitation and under the patronage of MEP Ilhan Kyuchyuk.
Lili Ivanova Foundation will be presented in the European Parliament. The aim is to promote
Bulgarian music and culture. Lili Ivanova will also be welcomed at the historic City Hall
of the Belgian capital, which is located on the popular Grand Place. "Lili Ivanova has been
singing all her life. We decided to do concert here in Brussels, in Flagey - in this very famous
hall. So that Lili Ivanova's songs can be heard by Bulgarians who have been living here for
many years, but also so that her work can be promoted among foreigners who will probably
come to hear her here. Lili Ivanova is the most significant name in the history of Bulgarian
Pop Music. I have always associated her name with Bulgaria,"
Trifonov, along with Petаr Kurumbashev and Lyuben Dilov Jr., was one of the first producers
of private programming on Bulgarian National Television (BNT). His first appearance was on
the TV show KUKU in a sketch parody of a heavy metal band, shot in Studio 4 of the National

The Bulgarian Folk Song Flying in Space. In 1977, a vinyl record featuring the Bulgarian folk
song "Izlel ye Delyo Haydutin" (Eng: Come out rebel Delyo) began its journey aboard the
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecrafts. The song's journey continues to this day.Valya
Balkanska the extraterrestrial voice. Her voice is out of this world. Literally! A true
representative of the magic of the Bulgarian voices, Valya Balkanska is a child of the
Rhodopes and a real cultural treasure. So moving is her voice, in fact, that her interpretation
of the song Izlel e Delyu Haydutin was deemed worthy enough to be sent into outer space
along with 27 other musical masterpieces as a sort of message in a bottle for potential alien
civilizations. The song was recorded in 1968 accompanied by two awesome dudes playing
bagpipes by Martin Koning, a researcher of Bulgarian folklore, who then released it on a
record in the US. That same record coincidentally landed in the hands of the team making
the alien playlist “Earthling Vibes” (okay, I made that up, but that’s essentially what it was…)
The Bulgarian folk song made the final cut and was sent on a lightyears-long journey into
outer space. n the late 1960s, American explorer of Bulgarian folklore Martin Koenig
recorded and released on vinyl in the United States a Bulgarian folk song performed by
Valya Balkanska. A few years later, a copy of the song was among the recordings included
on the Golden Record, a message from the Earth prepared to fly out of the Solar System
aboard two identical spacecrafts from the NASA Voyager program.

World War II, from 1954 Bulgaria was a communist country under the rule of Todor Zhivkov.
He repressed many kind of music which was not approved by the state (but not all), specially

Bulgarian and did not die. Traditional and folk music in Bulgaria is related to Balkan music.
It has similarity with its neighbors, Greek, Romania and Macedonia. Bulgarian rhythms are
famous for their complication in measures like 5/16, 7/16, 11/16, etc. This amazing
measures in the music of Bulgaria and also Balkan built up around various combinations
of 'quick' and 'slow' beats. Different type of dances from different regions are played

music and the steps taken. There are no two horo dances with similar steps. Each has
different sequence of rhythms and steps. Some types which can be named are pravo horo
(which is considered as national dance of Bulgaria), petrunino horo (common in in north-
west of Bulgaria which is example of 13/16 meter dance), shopsko horo (men’s dance
often accompanied by gaida and type of horo), varnensko horo, daychovo horo, shibilevo
horo and etc.
