Balgarianovinite.com Sixteen-year-old Bulgarian singer Gabriela Ivanova, who is based in Dublin, will perform a medley of two songs from the Shopluk region at the 11th Expats Join Hands in Worldwide Dance travelling folklore festival. The festival will take place in BMW Park in Munich, Germany, from May 15 to 17. Liliyana Dancheva, Ivanova’s mother, told BTA that her daughter started singing when she was six.
Since then, Ivanova has accumulated numerous honours and accolades. The Dimitar Berbatov Foundation chose her as one of the talented kids of Bulgaria for four years. Georgi Andreev, head of the Philip Koutev Ensemble, invited her to perform with The Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices during a concert with the Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra in Ireland.
Dancheva shared: “Her most recent performance took place at the Bulgarian Embassy in Dublin at the invitation of Ambassador Vanya Andreeva-Malakova to mark Easter, where she sang before Metropolitan Antony, as well as before the directors of [the Bulgarian National Television, Bulgarian News Agency, Bulgarian National Radio], and the Svetoglas Quartet.”
When asked what message the young performer wanted to convey to the audience, Dancheva said: “It is always better to be surrounded by beautiful music and dance, love, and kindness.” She added that the performance will feature a folk dance that will give the audience a chance to join in on stage.
