The former vocalist of Rainbow, Joe Lynn Turner, arrived in Bulgaria this week to participate in the finals of a popular TV music show. He was welcomed first by one of the show’s contestants and already winner, Slavin Slavchev, who is regarded as the rock discovery of this year’s edition of the show. It was his performance of Rainbow’s hit “Can’t let you go” that brought Joe Lynn Turner to Bulgaria for yet another, albeit very short, visit.

“I absolutely totally believe that music makes the world a better place. When you take the music away you take the culture away. When you take the culture away, the society will die. We have technology replacing the arts, when they should live together but not one for the other. We world is crazy with technology, so we should be more crazy with the arts”, the singer said in a special interview for Radio Bulgaria.

Watch the video file to hear what he likes about this country, about rock music in the modern world and how it can be promoted among the young generation of musicians, about his latest music project and ultimately the role of music and the arts in modern life.
