  • Bio

    Karandila Junior, a band of 16 Gypsy children aged between 8 and 16 years, was formed in 2007 in Sliven's "Nadezhda" ("Hope") district, a ghetto famous for its high levels of crime, illiteracy and poverty, which twenty thousand Roma people call home. The project aims to break these stereotypes and offer a different cultural perspective of this ghetto. The new album (Ghetto "HOPE") puts forward music, which has no analog in Western culture – authentic Gypsy compositions mixed with elements from Bulgarian and Turkish folklore, as well as with jazz and even reggae. The great musician Angel Tichaliev – a driving force also behind the original Karandila orchestra – cultivated and developed the talent possessed by these young diamonds in the rough. While listening to the tracks on the album you will find yourself in a different, unknown world, sincere and sunny in a childlike way. Like a flowing river of life, these children leave behind the endless misery and any prejudices that plague their everyday lives in this hectic crisis-laden civilization.
