The "Love and Song" project brings together generations of popular Bulgarian artists on stage to perform their hits, spanning various musical styles over the years. On July 8, this all-star team will embark for the third time on a national summer tour, with the first stop on the Danube - in the town of Ruse.

Until the end of August, the musicians will delight the fans of Bulgarian pop music in Pleven, Veliko Tarnovo, Dobrich, Shumen, Stara Zagora, Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas, Sozopol.

Speaking of timeless hits, we invite you to listen to the rock ballad "Soul" by the group Diana Express. A song that lives in the hearts of generations of Bulgarians, but for those whose youth passed in the 70s and 80s of the 20th century, it is the embodiment of happiness, love and emotions.

We have chosen a concert performance of Diana Express from 2015, within the project "BG Rock Symphonies" on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Bulgarian National Radio.

Mitko Shterev is the author of the music and the arrangement, the lyrics were written by Kalin Donkov, the vocalist of Diana Express is Ilia Angelov. The Bulgarian National Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Grigor Palikarov, accompanies the performance.
