So now that a more closeup photo of Christine’s Masquerade dress in Bulgaria exists... I am even more confused.

Today until Sunday Phantom Bulgaria will be doing performances.

Pictured are their 2 Christines, Християна Лоизу/Christiana Loizu & Теменужка Трифонова/Temenuzhka Trifonova in all of their costumes.

CHALGA

This is a very specific genre and it’s very Bulgarian. Most songs are very provoking, dirty and even obscene. I know that a lot of fellow-Bulgarians will hate me for including them but I have found that foreigners tend to be very intriguied by this kind of music so I will include some more decent songs. You will without a doubt hear at least some of these if you go to any disco in BG! Azis | Хабиби (I love you? I think?) | Онова момче (That boy) Galena & Ts. Yaneva | Пей, сърце (Sing, heart (sounds kinda ridiculous in EN) Sofi Marinova | Love unlimited | Бурята в сърцето ми (The storm in my heart) Emilia | California  Desi Slava | На всички като тебе (to everyone like you) | И това ще преживея (I will go through this)  Preslava | Лъжа е | Няма да ти пиша (I won’t text you) | Водка с утеха (A vodka with comfort)  Boris Dali | Палатка (A tent)  Galin | Парата ако хвана (If I get rich (lit: If I catch the money) | На Египет фараона (The  pharaoh of Egypt) 

OLD MUSIC/ CLASSICS 

Паша Христова | Повей, ветре (Blow, wind) | Една българска роза (One Bulgarian rose)  Лили Иванова | За тебе бях (For you I was) | Детелини (Clovers) | Ветрове (Winds) | Camino 

OTHERS:

Traditional BG music mixed with modern beats: Stanga Traditional music + rock music: Balkandji  Note: I will constantly be updating this list. If you have any suggestions for me to add, don’t hesitate to message me. And be sure to let me know what you think! :)
