Perunika Trio
|
Introducing The Perunika Trio is the debut CD from the London-based trio of Bulgarian female singers, Eugenia Georgieva, Victoria Mancheva and Victoria Evstatieva.
The three tertiary educated singers split off into their own group after meeting through the London Bulgarian Choir. With occasional minimal backing, the trio sing a selection of Bulgarian and Macedonian songs with their distinctive drones and harmonies.
