Sentimental Swingers are celebrating their birthday with a concert tonight at Sofia Live Club, promoting the new video to their song I Don't Do It Like That, written especially for the ladies (lyrics and music) by trumpet player and composer Mihail Yosifov. It is included in their first album - Cradle of Love. Today, the girls are celebrating six years since the start of their work together.

Set up in 2010, Sentimental Swingers - Andronia Popova, Desislava Andonova and Vera Chandelle-along with the musicians from the Mihail Yosifov sextet have been breathing new life into the golden years of swing, revealing the beauty of jazz and urban singing tradition. Their style is a whole lot of fun and their concerts - an exciting blend of pure emotion and an infectious rhythm to cater for all tastes.

The video to the lively song by Vera, Desi and Ronnie was shot by Katerina Tambourkovska with cameraman Ivan Kounchev. Herself a swing fan, the young director made the video to the song I Don't Do It Like That just a few months after the release of the album Cradle of Love - together with Ivan Kounchev it is their coursework at the National Academy for Theatre and Film Arts in Sofia.

The video choreography is by the boys and girls from Lindy Hop Bulgaria - a swing dance school.
