Modern Bulgarian Music
Originating from the ethnic minorities of Bulgaria hailing from Turkish or Gypsy backgrounds, Chalga has been able to take the instruments of old Bulgarian Music, like clarinets, bagpipes, and synthesizer socas, and turn them into modern dance themes with beautiful women in club wear and rich men in suits. Snake charmers and palm readers add an element of mysticism, in a world of luxury and pleasure. Chalga is often featured in the Eurovision Song Contest. One singer who is particularly renown in Bulgaria and throughout Eastern Europe is Azis. Azis has been liked by so many, he ran for Parliament.
