The town of Popovo in Northeastern Bulgaria is hosting the second national folklore event called “Authenticity and modern times”, organized by the Tsvetnitsa association.

More than 700 folklore performers took part in the event last year, and this time even more are expected to participate, as the folklore festival will be attended by musicians from abroad. There will be many concerts, as well as singing and instrumental master classes. Some of Bulgaria’s most famous performers like Yanka Rupkina and Stoyan Varnaliev are expected to perform on stage or conduct their own master classes.
