Bulgarika Band

You are invited to a concert and dance party with hauntingly beautiful songs and driving, complex dance rhythms. BULGARIKA, a traditional Bulgarian folk band, will be at Synapsis, 1675 Union Street, Eureka on October 18, 2023.

Award-winning vocalist and teacher, Donka Koleva, sings traditional songs from various regions of Bulgaria, accompanied by instrumentalists Nikolay Kolev on gadulka, a bowed rebec; Temelko Ivanov, kaval shepherd’s flute; Marin Chalamov, tupan drum; and Nikolay Kodzhabashev, tambura, a long-necked lute.

 For dancing you don’t need a partner and there will be a dance leader to show you the steps!

 Entrance: $10-20 sliding scale. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

 Members of the band will also be offering a community music workshop and lessons for individuals and small groups. All voices and instruments are welcome at all levels of experience. Beginners are encouraged.
