Black Sea Disco Music

Its August and all Bulgarians are feeling a primal urge to take their yearly trek to the Black Sea for a tan, drinking, dancing and--with luck-- love (or something equivalent). For most Americans, it could be explained as a cross between spring break and the family vacation to the beach. Partially stemming from the communist times of when each family was entitled two weeks at the Black Sea at the communist hotels, this tradition has carried on as a national pilgrimage. The train seats are oversold and people sleep in the corridors, special bus routes specifically for the Black Sea tourist beaches, and everything is more expensive (but still insanely cheap for Americans and Europeans).

So, without further ado, here is the Black Sea Club Mix. Most of this music would be considered "Chalga" in Bulgaria which is comparable to American pop through its mixture of many different styles and genres to create Balkan pop music. This is the music that a majority of Bulgarian youth listen to and is standard at most clubs at the Black Sea.

Muxtape is currently being harrassed by the RIAA so I won't be able to put the music in Muxtape form. I'm going to just post them as YouTube clips.

About Preslava`s "Novata ti" - it doesn`t translates "the new you". It is "Your new" or "the new yours" - they mean your new girlfriend.
