Answering Your Letters: The Seven Rila Lakes

We welcome you to this program in the receding height of summer here in Bulgaria when the days seem to be getting shorter but the leisure summertime mood is still prevalent everywhere here.

In this edition of Listeners’ Mailbag we have letters sent to us from Europe and the US and we have more tips to help you answer our summer 2013 quiz. It is the name of a person, a spiritual leader of the late 19th and early 20th century, whose followers known as the White Brotherhood are very much active to this day and gather each year in August at the magnificent seven lakes in the Rila Mountain where they welcome the new year in a special ritual dance practiced on August 19th.  And this is just one of several tips that you can find inside this show.

Also in this program – we bring you jazz music from the stage of the most popular jazz forum in Bulgaria which closed several days ago from Bansko where for the 16th time jazz artists from Bulgaria and around the world gathered for a true celebration of music. You will hear performances of some of the Bulgarian artists who took part in the festival this year. 

Don’t hesitate to contact us on any questions and suggestions you might have.  The addresses for contact are english@bnr.bg and in Facebook at Radio Bulgaria English Service.
