The undisputed musical sensation these days is the news that for the first time a Bulgarian musician has become part of the world-famous Barcelona Gipsy balKan Orchestra, focusing mainly on the folklore of the countries of the Balkan Peninsula. Bulgarian accordionist Kaloyan Kumanov, who has been living and working in Spain for years, received an invitation to participate in the group's European tour.
Their repertoire includes Bulgarian folklore classics, such as Krivo Sadovsko Horo, Dunavko Horo, Daichovo Horo folk dances by Diko Iliev, folk songs such as More Sokol Pie, Macedonian Maiden, etc. When asked how, as a Bulgarian musician, he perceives these traditional Bulgarian folk melodies in the interpretation of the Barcelona Gipsy balKan Orchestra, Kaloyan answers:
