On 25th of November Vladimir Ampov - Grafa had an acoustic concert in the National Palace of Culture, together with musicians Miroslav Ivanov, Ivaylo Zvezdomirov, Borislav Boyadzhiev, Krassimir Todorov, Venzy Trifonov and others. This has been the first acoustic concert of the pop singer for the past 8 years. Creative Director of the project Kaloyan Lalev - Cayo had taken care of the transformation of hall 3 in the NPC into the most appropriate stage for the performance of Grafa. He performed songs like "Domino", "Dim da me nyama", "Causa Perduta", "Enemy", "Nobody" and many of his hits in new arrangements, specially prepared for the concert.

Victor Liba is known with his career in the 032 boy band, which no longer exists and each of the four artists is on its own way. For years he has been living and studying in Milan. His first solo project "Samo s ochi" (With Eyes Only) with music, lyrics and arrangement by Boyan Hristov (B.O.Y.A.N.) is now a reality. There is also a video to it. Director of production is Jan Petrov and the English version of the song is performed by Rachel Rowe. Here's more from Victor Liba:

"At one point I decided I wanted to create music again. So I started working on my first solo single. I am very happy it is now aired on the radio. I think that when I make music for Bulgaria, it must be in Bulgarian. I often go back to Bulgaria in summer and I talked with Boyan about my idea for a song. We have been friends with him since our joint work in 032. The next day he called me with a proposal. I heard it and realized that Boyan did what I imagined."

Desi Andonova, known from "Phuture Shock" and "Sentimental Swinges" has recently surprised us pleasantly with a solo project. In November the charming lady DJ who developed her solo career as DESY, presented her first single entitled "Easy." It will be included in her upcoming solo album. The song was created in collaboration with Bozhidar Vasilev "Southwick". It involved American artist Brian Capobianchi. In "Easy" fans can enjoy the typical funky flavor, thanks to Antoni Rikev, Nikolay Danev, Radoslav Slavchev, Bozhidar Vasilev and DJ JIJO. An American guest takes part in the video of the single, as well. Director and conceptual engine behind the black and white video is photographer Tihomir Rachev, who has been working with the singer for years, and is now inspired to transform music into images.


The "Ni.co" band has had a promotion of the video to the song "Nyakoi” (Someone). This is the third single of the band performed together with Liter Jack, one of the new faces of Bulgarian rap music. Author of the single is Nikki Nikolov – front man and guitarist of "Ni.co." Director of the video is Tsvetomir Matev. "Someone" is part of the band's debut album, which will be released in 2015.
