Yanka Rupkina played a major role in the growing popularity of Balkan music in the 1980s. Together with Stoyanka Boneva and Eva Georgieva, Rupkina formed the Trio Bulgarka, a vocal group affiliated with Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares.
Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares gained international prominence through their contributions to the groundbreaking 1975 world music album Le Mystere des voix Bulgares, originally released on the Swiss label Disques Cellier and later reissued on Britain's 4AD Records and the German Jaro label.
Trio Bulgarka comprises Yanka Rupkina from Strandja, Stoyanka Boneva from Pirin and Eva Georgieva from Dobroudja. Their diversity of regional backgrounds enabled them to create a unique sound to their music. They signed to record labels Bulgaria Balkanton and Hannibal in 1987.
Two years later they featured on The Sensual World album by Kate Bush on the songs "Deeper Understanding", "Never Be Mine", and "Rocket's Tail". In 1993 they appeared on another Kate Bush album, The Red Shoes, in the songs "You're the One", "The Song of Solomon", and "Why Should I Love You?", which also featured Prince. The trio have since concentrated on solo projects but often re-form for concert appearances.
Rupkina subsequently performed as a solist for the national television and radio Bulgaria group, the Balkana.

Exactly how do they create that sound? It is so unearthly beautiful, and I've always wondered how.
