The young Bulgarian band In Between is also marking women’s day – it is one year to the day since they recorded their first song, and also singer-songwriter Anna-Maria’s birthday. The band celebrated at Dada club with an unplugged concert for friends and fans of their music with a repertoire of in-between songs – pop, rock and punk. The three members of the band – Anna-Maria and the twins Angel and Vassil Tonkin – are original, interesting and inventive and have found a music niche all their own. In April they will be playing their music at Studio 5 – a venue for avant-garde art for years.



The latest song by Mastilo (ink) Just You and Me now has a video that has been growing more and more popular in social networks. Singer Vicky Terziyska dedicated the song to her partner in life Petar just two months after their baby was born. She is author of the lyrics, as well as the music together with Desislav Danchev. The music project is produced by Krassimir Todorov. The video of Just You and Me, directed by Tsvetomir Matev, features flash-backs to the band’s 2015 tour called Take Another Look at Me.
