The sounds of Balkan rhythms and passionate flamenco warmed the hearts of the Bulgarian community in Washington.

The Bulgarian Embassy hosted the second concert of the 17th season of the Bulgarian Music Society in Washington. On 14 November, guests enjoyed a unique show by two world-class artists, both originally from Bulgaria: Desi Jordanoff, a folk dance master, and Mariana Gato Duran, a flamenco dancer.

The audience was captivated by the lively rhythms of the Balkans, playfully combined with the fiery elegance of flamenco. The performers' exceptional talent took guests on a memorable journey through two very different cultures, turning the evening into a passionate and energetic competition. The beautiful guitar improvisations of Miguel Perez (Miguelito) also contributed to the unique atmosphere of the evening, according to a Facebook post by Bulgaria's diplomatic mission.

The concert's motto, 'Dancing Across Borders: Bulgaria, Spain, America”, reminded everyone of the power of music to build bridges and unite cultures.
