In Radio Bulgaria’s music show today we bring you some of the hottest Bulgarian pop songs based on Latino patterns. We open the show with the duet Kalin Veliov and Nina Nikolina. Veliov is a percussionist who has worked with some leading bands including Akaga and Medicus. Nina Nikolina’s style is a balanced mixture of pop and world music. The twosome will take us to the exotic rhythmic patterns of the Caribbean with a track that reminds of Cuba’s tropical dynamism. Listen to the track Cha-Cha, music by Kalin Veliov, lyrics by Rushi Videnliev.
Bulgarian singer Yordanka Hristova knows Cuba quite well. The pop star appeared on stage there for the first time 45 years ago. Since then she has been in that country on many occasions and says she feels very much at home. By the way Yordanka is very popular in Cuba and there are many Cuban children named after her. Listen next to La Comparsita, Bulgarian lyrics by Evgenia Gesheva, singing Yordanka Hristova.
The song that follows will add some heat to the atmosphere and is likely to ring memories of a summer flirt or two. The singer is Nelly Rangelova, holder of the Grand Prix of the prestigious Bulgarian Golden Orpheus Award. The song Sweet Mistake is about the summer and its temptations that we have to resist anyway. Both the music and lyrics have been written by Yavor Kirin
Golden sand beaches and tropical landscapes intense with color come to mind, while listening to the song On a Lonely Island performed by Latinopartizani. The band was founded by Iskren Petsov back in May 1996. It mostly played covers in the Latino style unlike the rock music that was more popular at that time. Today the Latinopartisani band only seldom gather together on stage. Their front man Iskren Petsov has launched a successful solo career. Let us listen to On a Lonely Island with music and lyrics by Iskren Petsov.
The music of Wikeda band displays a mix of various genres including rock, pop and punk. With the track Whiskey with Peanuts the Wikeda guys show a taste for the hot Latino rhythms. The music is by the band, and the lyrics were written by Wikeda front man Erol Ibrahimov.
