Singer Maria Mutafchieva of Mary Boys Band has a birthday today - she not only celebrates a personal anniversary, but also her 30 years on stage. On this occasion she has invited all friends and fans to a special concert at Bulgaria Concert Hall. The gig will be featuring of the most popular Bulgarian singers with whom she has recorded duets over the years - Margarita Hranova, Mario Nikolov and Tony Dimitrova. Violinist Alexander Miroleskov, jazz singer Vesela Morova, actress Delyana Hadzhiyankova, and Mary's daugther Maria Miroslavova-RIA play an important role in the show.

I am a dreamer - says Maria Mutafchieva with her characteristic lightness and cheerfulness in her voice, taking stock of the past: "I've met some really wonderful people over the years. My encounters with the audiences and my family are the biggest inspiration. This is what gives me the strength to keep going. I really want to keep my inner child alive - that curiosity, that zest for life. I want to hold on to the joy of being alive, of going around, meeting people, watching the world change, nature - seeing the snowdrops, the roses, the azure moments of summer, the chrysanthemums in autumn - things like that make me very happy. Of course, I've changed, I'm getting older, but it's quite normal and beautiful. One should be ready and grateful to live long if one can, because the world is interesting."

Maria Mutafchieva's concert will also feature young musicians who have already made their first professional steps in classical and popular music.

One of her independent original songs is "Stay", performed by three iconic Burgas girls of different generations - Mary, Toni Dimitrova and the young RIA.
