2024 was an extremely successful year for the girls from Trio VIVA – they released their debut album, celebrated their 12th anniversary and went on a tour across Bulgaria. The first song they are presenting in 2025 is their interpretation of the well-known and beloved music hit "Zashto" ("Why") by B.T.R.
Trio VIVA consists of Viktoria Cheshmedzhieva, Yoana Velikova and Viktoria Ehiyanova. The music and lyrics for both versions were written by Slavcho Nikolov. Here is what the girls told music editor Dilyana Tracheva:
Actually, the idea to create our version came again from Slavcho Nikolov, because he really liked how we sounded performing their original. So far, this version has been very well received, even though we were definitely nervous about releasing it, because it's a very well-known song by B.T.R. and it’s kind of a signature track for the band.
Alex Nushev also worked on the arrangement together with Slavcho – they increased the tempo and the tonality, and it turned into a pop-dance version. Many people have even told us that it could easily be a summer hit everywhere.''
