“Bulgarian Routes. Two Seas, One Myth” is a sonic journey between Bulgaria and Southern Italy, where ancient roots meet contemporary chamber music.

The project puts together 10 musicians: NUBRAS Ensemble, one of the new important voices of Italian world music, and three important performers of Bulgarian folklore: Diyana Vasileva, vocalist of the choir The Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices, Borislav Galabov, gadulka player of the Bulgarian National Radio and Kiril Belezhkov, kaval flute performer and composer.

The project debuted in Italy in November 2025 with the support of the Bulgarian Institute of Culture.

Videos from the performance at the Sala Biavati in Rome are available here.

Listen the whole concert on the Italian National Radio: RAI RADIO TRE, La Stanza della Musica.

The 10 musicians create a bridge between cultures, a musical ritual celebrating collective memory and the sacredness of sound.

Each piece unfolds as a step in a mythological journey, evoking deities, spirits, and rituals that connect the traditions of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Balkans.

A concert that invites the audience to immerse themselves in myths, dances, voices, and ancient sounds, in a dialogue between two worlds that are distant yet profoundly connected.
