The creators of the group Balcanika Guitar Star's Tihol Mutafov and Zlatko Burov are cousins born in 1982 and 1980 in Pleven. Since we were kids we started to play of guitar and mandolin. Both graduate NSA - National School of Arts in Pleven with specialty mandolin. Then the paths we both parted and each of us found his own way to explore the music and its endless ramifications.
Until after more than 13 years searching for his own style finally we decided to do something together. Our pieces are inspired by the shape of the acoustic gypsy jazz (two guitars), Balkan music tradition and of course Queen of the music Jazz , in addition to lean our idea!
And after the first rehearsal , magic get realized ! The strength of our overall performance is that we are very close and at the same time very different musicians and the music we make together brings a feeling we were looking for many years separated from each another.
.
We have great future musical plans and we are grateful to all who will share them with us!
