Dance Weekend - what is hot in Bulgaria
Dance Weekend with some Bulgarian moves
Steemians - since I am in Bulgaria still and we have Dance Weekend let us have a look into some local music - some may like, some not I aware. Not a lot music is published here from Eastern Europe or I simply miss it. Most of the ones following me know I post a lot about Bulgaria as I consider this as my second home, wife comes from Burgas and I spend at least 4 weeks per year in this great country like right now.
Chalga - controversy music style
Bulgaria also "owns" a special music scene which is either loved or hated across the region - called Chalga (my wife hates it!). I am not evaluating the style and the background as I am not a scientist specialised for society matters, hence I aim just to introduce this to you - I personally the style is mainly linked to the US Hip Hop style combined with local Folk elements.
Chalga can be described as music / dance / folk genre common across many South Eastern European countries. Basically this genre originated from Bulgaria and is a ethno-pop with influences from Greek, Turkish, Arabic, Romani, Albanian and Russian music usually including hot topics- sex. Just watch the videos by some of the Top Stars from Bulgaria.
Gery-Nikol - young talent
The entry video is by a young talent that also performs in English - Gery-Nikol Nikolaeva Georgieva rose to fame in late 2014 after participating in the third season of the singing competition X Factor Bulgaria. Her style is linked too rap and she sees Rihanna as her main idol and influence.
Gloria - established star
This lady is a super star in Bulgaria and they call her “The Queen of Pop-Folk” - she is extreme successful in terms of sales and awareness combining (others should judge that): talent, creativity, high class, diligence, remarkable professionalism, tenacity, and will. She is one of the overall most successful artists of the country and performs also abroad - outside Bulgaria.
Ich frage mich gerade, worüber ein Bulgare im Deutschland-Urlaub schreiben würde. Helene Fischer? :-o
Hmmm - gute Frage - kann sein - nicht sicher ob dies besser ist wie über die "Titel Hosen oder Scorpions" - würde mir aber wünschen er schrieb über Paul van Dyk oder Sven Väth - schätze aber eher über modern Talking..... ach ich weiss es nicht :-).
Peter Fox vielleicht ? Mindenstens, eine Bulgarin könnte über ihn schreiben :-)
Die Bulgaren sind Weltmeister im Produzieren von diesen Chalga-Pop-Musikvideos 😄
Toller Einblick in eine für uns weitgehend unbekannte Szene. Gefällt mir gut! Habe mich aber immer schon für solche "Vermischungen" interessiert.
Danke für den Kommentar - als ich die Musik zum ersten mal hörte war es schon "anders" - aber inzwischen find ich manche Sachen schon spannend. Die Videos sind z.T. extrem aufgebaut - aber als Mann kann man da auch kaum wegschauen :-). Ist aber ein Querschnitt durch die Gesellschaft dort.
Ich fands sofort gut.. ok, die Mädels machen es einem auch wirklich leicht ;-) Mag "Balkan" sowieso gern, grad auch im Mix wie z.B. "dunkelbunt".
War im Juni in Serbien und durfte das erste mal in eine Welt jenseits von Kroatien eintauchen. Für mich absolut faszinierend. Besonders auch die Musik... auch wenn ich keine der Interpreten kannte... noch auch nur eine(n) nennen könnte..
Ich auch - bin jedes Jahr dort - früher mit Auto durch den "kompletten" Balkan gefahren, war spannend mit den Grenzkontrollen. Kroatien muss ich mal länger bleiben demnächst.

Hi
Nice article and videos. And I think you enjoyed a lot the dance weekend.
I thank you for letting us know about the cultures of Bulgaria. Which are really very good to read.
Every country has their own dancing styles. It’s better to enjoy it instead of pointing out something.
Thanks for this beautiful and informative post.
Thanks.
