Music producer Atanas Zaykov, known as Atazar (pronounced Atazar) is offering his fans his latest song "Pushka Pukna". It features the singers Bisera and Lidiya, and once again sounds in the traditions of Bulgarian folklore. The folk instrument kaval (wooden shepherd's flute) stands out especially brightly. 


About his creative solution, Atazar says: 

"As a bearer of memory and power, the kaval is the main emotional thread in the song. The musical basis creates tension and depth, in which the vocals of Bisera and Lidiya sound like a call from another time."
