Popular Bulgarian singers. Andrea – Bulgarian singer
It is no accident that I put a question mark in the title. Because this is my puzzled exclamation. And, of course, purely subjective. Essentially, I have two questions: is the phrase “ Bulgarian singer
“is it acceptable for this kind of talent? and second: who are you, her fan, persistently typing her name into the search engine? I will try to answer the first below, I would like to read the second in the comments...
So, Andrea. Since school, she dreamed of becoming a singer and in this she is not original. She is also not original in the chosen path to achieve her goal: a standard conveyor belt way to get to the recording studio. Disgustingly formulaic clips in the style of “soft porn”. The style of “music”, if I have been enlightened correctly, is called Chalga in Bulgaria. The lyrics are primitive, suitable only for initial study Bulgarian language
: a lot of simple words, but it makes no sense. The melodies also do not claim exclusivity. Ninety percent of these singers are practically indistinguishable from each other. How to stand out in such a pipeline?
Rule 1: Add something blonde to your head and wear it everywhere:
Rule 2: Don't show yours true face V in public places– thick makeup or glasses will help:
Next rule: Poses, poses and poses...Yes! Don't forget to open your mouth slightly:
And as an option for a pose, be sure to show off your boobs. Wherever possible. And even let others join in:
). The choice is quite wide: from soulful songs in the style of “Chaifa” to quite advanced ones in musically compositions. Below is a small guide to contemporary Bulgarian music. It should be said right away that neither Balkan pop-folk, which Bulgaria calls “Chalga,” nor heavy metal, nor ultra-techno will be here. The music will be quite neutral. The tracks mentioned below were included in this one either due to their popularity in Bulgaria or simply due to their musicality. Not everything is mentioned below, but you can get your bearings. Let's start, perhaps, with the pillars of the Bulgarian stage, i.e. those groups that have been on the rise for many years, but nevertheless still have serious popularity. These are the same chayfa-like rockers that are loved in Bulgaria.
First echelon. Older guys
So, No. 1 is the group “Schurtsite” (“Crickets”). The group was created in 1967 and officially ended its existence in 2013 simultaneously with the death of one of the founders, Peter Gyuzelev. Despite the venerable age of the group, the group falls into the category of “contemporary Bulgarian music” due to its serious popularity to this day. Below is one of the most famous tracks of “Shchurtsite”, the song “Sreshcha” (“Meeting”).
No. 2 - “Signal” group. Everything is the same as “Schurtsite”. “Signal” was created 10 years later, but the style is the same. Perhaps a little more melodic. Below is a clip of one of the most famous songs"Signal" "Sbogom" ("Farewell")
Another example of old rockers is the Diana Express group. Below is a clip of one of the most popular songs in Bulgaria, “Utre”.
But the next guys are younger. Group "B.T.R." literally blew up Bulgaria with her song “Elmaz and Glass” in the early 00s. Unfortunately (or fortunately), the fate of this group repeats the fate American group The Eagles, when they recorded Hotel California, they were never able to do anything like that again in their musical career. Yes they were good songs, but the level of Hotel California has never been surpassed. "B.T.R" has a one-to-one story. So, below is a clip with the song “Yelmaz and Glass”.
Now let's move a little towards pop-jazz. In Bulgaria there is an awesome group “FSB”. The guys are already aged, but they still work and produce quite interesting things from a musical point of view. Those who are really interested can listen last album(2010) on their official website - music.fsb.bg/album/fsb-2. Oddly enough, most Bulgarians are not interested in the musical delights of this group, and the most popular has become a simple, but soulful song“Trace 10 Godini” (“In 10 years”).
But there are still quite progressive musical experiments"FSB".
