After Covid-19 complications, famous musician, composer and founder of the "Tangra", Kossyo Markov, passed away. The tragic news was reported by his daughter speaking to Z-Rock radio.

In 1976 he created his own band "Tangra". The band went through two stylistic periods - pop-rock and then new-wave, changing many soloists. Before 1989 "Tangra" led by Markov performed and recorded some of the most popular hits in Bulgaria, such as the songs "Bogatstvo”, “ Nashiyat Grad”, and many others.
