We are used to Bulgarian musicians doing their national tours in clubs across the country. But Grafa (The Count), who has won a number of music awards, together with the renowned Akaga band decided to perform in concert halls. Their tour started on November 19 at the Festival Centre in Varna and continued in the cities of Sofia, Burgas, and Plovdiv. The musicians presented new remixes of their songs, melting the musical styles of Grafa and Akaga. They perform together during this “sublime show”, as Grafa describes it.

“DJ Borche also takes part in our concerts, playing exotic sounds. We have special multimedia and we bring video displays and lights with us. I think that all the components of a great show are present. The most important is that we play live. The boys from Akaga are exceptional professionals. Following the success of our song Disco party, it was logical that we should tour together. I am the vocalist in the show, but I also play the guitar and piano, and created the acoustic versions of some of the songs, as well”, Grafa says.

During the tour, Grafa presented his new single Ostavyash Sledi (You leave traces). “It is a different song as the sound is completely electronic. I am glad the audience liked the song very much,” he said. Grafa is composer of the music and author of the lyrics. Director Vasil Stefanov created the video of You Leave Traces.
