Since there are lots of Russian music lovers (I am assuming because of t.A.T.u.) well I decided to make a thread with some Bulgarian music (for those who are interested in other types of international/Eastern European music than Russian) - a specific type of music, called Chalga or Pop-Folk :D Yeah, it means it is pop-y, but also Folk inspired (supposedly), but if you ask me, the main goal is: sexy/as naked as possible women to make the population happy :coctail: ...but the funny part is that the most selling bulgarian music artist for last year (2003) was a chalga singer transvestite who is the complete opposite of those described women :laugh: ... more about him a bit later though, if there is still interest.
Lets begin with the most popular ones:

Note: All videos are curtesy of http://www.bulgariancds.com/ and are part of the actual video, so small in size (about 1 - 1.5MB)

First comes Anelia who I like the most, one because of her songs, two because of the fact that she doesnt go by the rule of 'sluttiness' anymore and simply wears jeans and tanktops in her videos :coctail: for anelia. For her last album, she also shot all her videos at Sunny Beach, my fav resort in BG - again :coctail: for Alelia.
Samo Mene Nyamash (http://music-video-cd-dvd.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/playasf.cgi?id=342) - 'You only don't have me' - this is from her first album, where she was quite a bit more sluttier
'Obichai Me' (http://music-video-cd-dvd.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/playasf.cgi?id=341) 'Love Me' - from her second album
'Iskam Te' (http://music-video-cd-dvd.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/playasf.cgi?id=575) - 'I Want You' - second album again

Then, its one dedicated to haku :gigi: just because of her Red hair. This is Kamelia:
'Strelkite Spirat' - live (http://music-video-cd-dvd.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/playasf.cgi?id=518) - 'The hands of the clock are stopping' LoL something like that. This is from the Second Annual Payner Awards - which is basically the MTV Awards for Chalga Music in Bulgaria.
'Strelkite Spirat' (http://pop-folk-chalga-music.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/playasf.cgi?id=484) - the regular video for the same song.
'Ti Si Vinoven' (http://music-video-cd-dvd.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/playasf.cgi?id=573) 'It Is Your Fault' - now that's what i call 'out of hand' eye lashes haha

Next comes Gergana (I have a feeling she is sasha's favourite hihi):
"Kakto Predi' (http://music-video-cd-dvd.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/playasf.cgi?id=439) 'Like Before' - her breakthrough video from the end of last year - nice pink mic haha
'Gasna Po Teb' (http://music-video-cd-dvd.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/playasf.cgi?id=698) 'I Burn for You' (or something like that) - something is wrong with the audio in that video clip, so here is just an audio sample of what the song really sounds like: audio (http://music-video-cd-dvd.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/playasf.cgi?id=552)
'Gubya Te Bavno'- Live (http://music-video-cd-dvd.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/playasf.cgi?id=517) 'I am Slowly Loosing You' - this is sfrom that same Annual Awards ceremony.
'Gubya Te Bavno' (http://music-video-cd-dvd.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/playasf.cgi?id=433) - the regular video for the song.

Now, Gloria, she is the 'legend' since she has been around for years, with enough plastic surgeries, she can still keep up with the newer/younger ones:
'Prisada' (http://www.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/playasf.cgi?id=630) 'Verdict'

On to the next 'oldie' Ivana. And while Gloria seems to look just fine, Ivana if you ask me looks Horrible!!! And not only that, she has this obsession with youth, and so her last songs have been, as follows:
'Striptiz' (http://music-video-cd-dvd.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/playasf.cgi?id=753) 'Streaptease' - where she says she would surpass even 9 1/2 weeks lol
"Kato Na 17 (http://music-video-cd-dvd.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/playasf.cgi?id=752) 'Like We Are 17' - where she keeps singing she is like 17 years old haha
'Osvobodete Dansinga' (http://music-video-cd-dvd.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/playasf.cgi?id=631) 'Clear Up The Dance Floor'

Here is Raina's latest:
'Hiliadi Zheni' (http://music-video-cd-dvd.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/playasf.cgi?id=702) 'Thousand Women'
'Ti Me Lazhesh Nai-Dobre' (http://music-video-cd-dvd.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/playasf.cgi?id=436) 'You Lie To Me the Best' - there is something that i really dislike about her appearance lol

Last, but not least for now is Emilia, who I think looks like Britney Spears a bit lol:
'Nyama Da Taguvam' (http://pop-folk-chalga-music.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/playasf.cgi?id=429) 'I Wont Be Sad Anymore' - one of her early videos, where you can clearly see the poor quality haha - those 'dancers' in the end of the clip :lol: ..Y&L's choreography is top class compared to that
'Ti Zamina' (http://pop-folk-chalga-music.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/p.cgi?p=pl&t=asf&id=629) 'You Left'
'Samota' (http://pop-folk-chalga-music.bulgariancds.com/cgi-bin/playasf.cgi?id=500) 'Loneliness' - this video was interesting even for me, since it shows where Emila started - and thats mostly Folk - you can see the Folklore dancers - it is definatelly not the Pop-y 'naked' thing lol

Well, lets see if someone actually watches those and replys. If not, oh well, you lost some 'fun' ha ha

Well ... :laugh: I can listen to it to have a laugh, but seriously I can't really listen to that kind of music :p We have similar stuff in Portugal too... it's horrible, and it's not even funny, lol. At least chalga is funny :heh:

[...] but she looks too much like a skinny model for my personal taste (i know, i have bad taste...
:gigi: well haku, I dont think you will see ones much fatter than her :eek: THough I have to admit, I did think she was cute 'curvy' in that white dress at the Awards video.
All those women are undergoing plastic surgeries by the monoths ... thats why the LIPS that sash is talkiong about.
staringelf, chalga is super funny yes, but the fact is that 1-2 years ago it wasnt!! it was horrible boring ... at least people are putting some effort into it to make it appeal to the younger population, as well as the regular costumers - nasty males from the villages :eek: )
And when I am in Bulgaria there is nothing more relaxing than sitting in front of the TV with my cousins laughing our butts of watching Planeta TV, which is Chalga 24/7 :laugh: .. one thing that you all are missing on are the lyrics!!! those are half of the fun :lol:
