"Why?" - A beautiful personal confession

A few days ago, an impressive concert took place in Sofia with the participation of favorite Bulgarian actors, who performed songs written especially for them. Igor Markovski is the author and producer of the project called "The Singing Artists". After the successful performances in Burgas and Plovdiv the audience filled Hall No. 1 of the National Palace of Culture in Sofia on November 1 - the Day of National Enlighteners. The program featured works of a number of famous composers, including songs by Bilyana Angelova, who traditionally writes both the music and the lyrics.

Now we offer you her song "Why?" performed by Koyna Ruseva - the first solo appearance of the actress in the genre, after her duets with Miro. "Why?" was conceived back in 2019. Back then Emil Boyadzhiev started the arrangement of the song, but unfortunately, he passed away at the beginning of 2020. Returning to this composition, the author and producer entrusted the arrangement to Georgi Tsvetkov.

The song has been part of the BNR Top 20 chart for yet another week.
