"Balkan Nights" is an initiative that begins today in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, and will continue until September 8. The event opens tonight with the "Balkan Dances" Music Workshop, led by Dimitar Hristov. On September 6 and 7, there will be music and vocal workshops with Dimitar Hristov and Evelina Hristova, as well as a meet-and-greet with instructors and DJ Orfey.
Dimitar Hristov is a well-known composer, arranger and conductor of the Bulgarian National Radio Folk Orchestra.

Next, we bring you the remix of the piece "Mecha Svatba/Bear's Wedding" from BULGARA's album "Koreni/Roots". Dimitar Hristov wrote the music of the piece. The remix is by Kiril Dobrev.
