The undisputed musical sensation these days is the news that for the first time a Bulgarian musician has become part of the world-famous Barcelona Gipsy balKan Orchestra, focusing mainly on the folklore of the countries of the Balkan Peninsula. Bulgarian accordionist Kaloyan Kumanov, who has been living and working in Spain for years, received an invitation to participate in the group's European tour.
