Somewhere else, sometime in the past – and in the future. Milena Karadzhova and Asen Marinov

Milena Karadzhova (vocal) and Asen Marinov (guitar) have the special talent, when on stage, to take us to another place, another time, another state of mind. Their Bulgarian traditional songs, interpreted with the tender voice of Milena and the Rennaissance feel of Asen"s guitar, are charming and bewitching. They are accompanied by the kaval of Hristiyan Marinov. Their music takes us either to grandmother"s house or in the mountains, high – to a place where memories and dreams are true, the air is clean and intoxicating, and the horizon - yes, limitless. The Na srede zemya (On Middle Ground) CD is the light of their music inspiration, with special guests Lyubomir Nikov – violoncello, and Petar “Bunny” Yordanov – percussions. Svetoslav Nikolov interviews Milena Karadzhova and Asen Marinov about the vitality of Bulgarian folklore and the possibility to represent it by the means of classical, jazz and rock music.
