__ The_Tupan_derives from ancient times and was used by the Old Bulgarian tribes. It has been to the world since the 2nd Century AD. At that time the proto-Bulgarians were migrating from Middle Asia to the Balkan Peninsula. They reached the Caspian Sea and settled in the lands between it and the Black Sea. This musical instrument survived throughout the ages and is one of the most attractive traditional folk instruments in the area to this very day. It represents a cylindrical wooden shell with a diameter of 30-60cm and a height of 25-50cm, the top and bottom of which employ stretched heads. Wooden hoops with inserted over them in a zig-zag manner rope provide for relaxing and tightening of the heads. The tupan is hung belt-over-shoulder so as to remain in position at the height of the performer’s waist. He needs two wooden sticks to play with. One of them is bent at both ends and is called “Kiyak”. The other one is thin, about 40cm long resilient cornel-tree twig. The tupan can accompany the main melody, as well as offer solo performance.

___Stoyan Yankoulov was born on September 10th in Sofia. At the age of 8 he started taking piano lessons. At the same time he showed interest for percussion instruments. Since young age he was the base of musical bands as a drummer. He graduated from the musical school "Lyubomir Pipkov" in Sofia and then from the State Musical Academy "Pancho Vladigerov" majoring in percussion instruments. He was accepted in the Big Band of the Bulgarian National Radio. Yankoulov plays with rock and jazz bands, with folklore ensembles and with jazz-rock and fusion bands. He was guest starring on folklore and jazz festivals in Bulgaria, Finland, Belgium, Germany, Holland, France, Turkey, USA, Macedonia. He performed in the projects of Bobby McFerrin, Okay Temiz, Kornel Horvath, Carlo Rizzo, Arabel Karajan, Enver Ismailov, as well as with Theodosii Spassov, Ivo Papazov, Milcho Leviev, Simeon Shterev, Yildiz Ibrahimova, Anatoli Vapirov, Petar Ralchev, Ateshhan Yuseinov, Peyo Peev.

___Yankoulov is a laureate of the Crystal Lira award - 2004 in the jazz category by the Union of the Bulgarian Music and Dance Activists, Classic FM radio and the National Centre for Music and Dance at the Ministry of Culture. He was awarded an honorary diploma by the Embassy of the Republic of Bulgaria in Austria for his great contribution to the popularization of Bulgarian jazz music and for his spectacular performance on the Panorama of the First Bulgarian Jazz Music Week Outside of Bulgaria. Bulgarian National Associations "Phenomena" - a collective member of the International Academy of Informatization in UN awards Stoyan Yankoulov with a golden statue for exceptional contribution in the field of art and popularizing Bulgarian culture all over the world.

___Stoyan Yankoulov records plenty of jazz, pop and ethnic music. This has significantly influenced his unique playing style. He manages to produce orchestra sound on percussion instruments. Sometimes the listener has the impression that there is more than one percussionist playing. "The acquisition of other techniques - from bass, piano or other instruments is useful in this process. For me to play means to communicate."

___Yankoulov breaks and stretches the traditional way of playing drums, tupan, percussion by applying new techniques and non-standard musical ideas. Combining authentic folklore with new ways of expression with percussion instruments Stoyan Yankoulov reveals the unlimited variety and emotional intensity of the unique Bulgarian culture.

___The Unique Bulgarian duet blend Bulgarian authentic folk with jazz, ethno and world music. They make the rind of music one associates with outer space. The media have dubbed them as "the shamans of Bulgaria" and "lords of the elements". In 2007 BBC and Reuters described their music as "a portal to other worlds".

___Elitsa Todorova sings in the legendary choir The Mystery of Bulgarian Voices and Cosmic Voices from Bulgaria. She has graduated a school for authentic folk singing and has a higher degree in percussion instruments. In 2003 she teamed up with the best known Bulgarian drummer and percussionist Stoyan Yankoulov. Their debut album Drumboy soon became a bestseller.

___Stoyan Yankoulov had devised a unique set of percussion instrument. He has played together with the legendary Bob McFerrin and other world famous jazzmen. The duo's highly rhythms combined with Elitsa's magic voice spin together beautiful ethno-jazz tales. Elitsa and Stoyan present the Bulgarian cultural heritage all over the world. Their fans include Prince Albert of Monaco, the Director General of UNESCO Koichiro Matsuura, the Presidents of Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, Montenegro and Serbia, to mention only a few.

___In March 2007 Elitsa and Stoyan won in the prestigious Eurovision world contest with their song Water. In May 2007 in Finland over 300 million viewers worldwide ranked them and their enchanting song Water fifth in Europe, thus making them international stars.

___Besides reaching the hearts of millions with their contagious rhythms and love they have launched a water conservation campaign with their awards winning song Water.

___The duo's next projects entitled Earth, Fire, Air and Ether will be dedicated to the elements and the protection of our planet.

___Elitsa Todorova and Stoyan Yankoulov have been awarded the Gold Phenomenon statuette for their exceptional promotion of the Bulgarian culture worldwide.


___Elitsa Todorova and Stoyan Yankoulov were the participates in the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest! Their amazing song "Voda" ("Water") brought to the country fifth place, a position Bulgaria had never reached before. After the Semi-Final where Elitsa and Stoyan gave a flawless and overwhelming performance, the Bulgarian percussion duet went out on stage in Hartwall Arena charged with positive energy and determined to present the Bulgarian grooves and rhythms in the best possible manner. Everyone could see the emotion in every stroke of the duet and the large hall erupted in applause enjoying the three minutes of the Bulgarian percussion show. Elitsa and Stoyan gave their best performance ever. Elitsa rocked the hall with her amazingly strong voice for her delicate body. What is more, she did it, unlike all the rest of the entrants, without the support of backing vocals. Elitsa and Stoyan looked comfortable and happy on stage, which quite naturally brought them the well-deserved position in the final ranking. Still a toddler in Eurovision, only in its third year in the Contest, Bulgaria managed to bring to the fore a song that wins, if not contests, at least the hearts of millions of lovers of excellent music. They came to you with rhythm and love! keeptheearthclean.com
