Hypnotic, transcendent, eerie, jubilant...when they open their voices out come timeless melodies and rich, strange harmonies that make every hair on your body stand on end

Elitsa Todorova was born on 02 Sept in Varna.
She studied at the "Philip Koutev" school of music
in Kotel, specializing in authentic folklore
singing; and the "Dobri Hristov" school of
music in Varna, specializing in percussions.
She then graduated from the "P. Vladigerov"
State Academy of music in Sofia, majoring in
percussions. She attracts both,
the audiences 'and the critics' attention by her
specific voice - strong, deep-toned, clear and hardy,
the tone-quality being one of beautiful and
rich ornamentation.

Todorova worked at the State Dance
and Music Ensemble in Varna, " The Mystery
of the Bulgarian voices" Choir, " Cosmic Voices of
Bulgaria" Choir where she performed authentic Bulgarian
folk songs, and compositions in Yiddish and Sanskrit.

In 2003 Elitsa Todorova began working with Bulgaria's
most popular and renowned drummer and percussionist Stoyan
Yankoulov. The unique Elitsa Todorova-Stoyan Yankoulov Duo
turned into a phenomenon in no time. Their high
professionalism and perfectionism underlies all their
performances.

Elitsa Todorova develops a percussions-playing style
of her own, combining quick ostinate rhythms on the
tarambuka with synhronized tarambuka with synchronized
playing and singing. The result is a mosaic of unique
vocal movements and impeccable musical improvisations.
She plays traditional percussion instruments in a most
non-traditional way. The singer easily mixes traditional
folklore with jazz, drum and base, ethno-motifs, classics
and spontaneous improvisation.
The result is fascinating. A magnetic voice and percussion
tell us their folklore-jazz story. In her repertoire Elitsa
Todorova plays instruments like the tarambuka, drums, maracas,
clavess, old silver coins, shepperd'schimes, horses' bells,
a magical thunder-wand, guirro, chimes, but of all musical
instruments the best, in her opinion, is human voice. Through
combining authentic Bulgarian folk songs with the energy of
percussions Elitsa Todorova presents in a most touchng way
the core, the potency and the emotional power
of Bulgarian culture.

She has been working with: "The Cosmic Voices of Bulgaria"
Choir, "Varna Ensemble", "The Mystery of the Bulgarian voices"
and the musicians: Stoyan Yankoulov, Theodosii Spassov, Ivo
Pappazov, Antonii Donchev, Jivko Petrov, Vesselin Vesselinov,
