SNEJANKA BORISSOVA is one of Bulgaria’s most interesting Shoppe region singers. Being a performer of authentic folk songs, she is at the same time always ready to experiment and her most recent recordings are in the ethno-techno-folk style.
She is closely connected with her native village of Lozen and has never stopped collecting and learning songs from that region. Many of these songs are prominent in the repertoire of the Philip Koutev Ensemble for Folk Songs and Dances, where Snejanka Borissova was soloist in the period 1982-2001. Her recordings for the Bulgarian National Radio made these songs popular throughout Bulgaria.
Her rich professional experience in the Philip Koutev Ensemble, as well as in other chamber formations like Trio Bulgarka-Penev and Lozenki Quintet, and her participation in the quartet of Bulgarian singers who recorded the soundtrack to Goran Bregovich’s movie “Underground” speak of her as a performer not only of traditional folk songs, but also of some experimental genres. She has also performed the vocal parts in movie co-productions, including the Italian-American “Saint Paul” and “Julius Caesar”. The Bulgarian audience remembers well her vocal participation in the theatre production of “The Gospel According to Mathew”, a one-man show by Marius Kurkinsky, famous for his extravagant artistic taste. Even though these are only incident performances, they speak of her desire to look for new and various ways for making the Shoppe folk tradition more popular.
The present release of GEGA NEW features part of her most popular traditional songs, some of them being recorded together in duet with Kunka Zhelyazkova or with the Lozenki Quintet, like: Chichovite konye, Oi shoppe, shoppe, Ima, nema, etc.
