Women in Folk Music - Neli Andreeva

Women in Folk Music is a new project showcasing Women in Folk Music, launched by FolknWorld and edited by the journalist, Sotiris Bekas. It’s an honour to have the amazing prima of Bulgarian folklore, the singer Neli Andreeva in what we hope to be the first of many editions to come. Thank you (Благодаря ти) Neli! For over 20 years Neli Andreeva has been the first soloist of Bulgaria’s National Foklore Ensemble “Philip Koutev”. She gains international acclaim with her original song Malka Moma, which she performs together with the ensemble back in 2010. In 2014 Neli sets up her own choir, “Nusha“, part of her larger school for young aspiring female singers. Since 2018 Neli has a Masters degree in conducting, and is also Head of the Foklore Singing Department of the National Music Academy of Bulgaria in Sofia. Special thanks to: Neli Andreeva, Kalina Andreeva, Yoana Andreeva, Nikolay Peev, Zvjezdan Ružić, Mateo Jurčić, Lilly Uzunova, Liana
