Stoyan Yankoulov & Elitsa Todorova
The Duo was founded by Stoyan Yankoulov.
The energy that springs from the instruments of the two percussionists,
alongside with the specific vocal technique of Elitsa Todorova, naturally
accounts for the audience's respect.
The unique Bulgarian duo combines rhythms from all over the world with
authentic Bulgarian folklore. The emblematic instrument for them - the
Drumboy (or brambazuk, komar, drandar, brunchilo) is a musical instrument
that has its roots in India, and it's been known in Europe since the
beginning of the 14c. It's got the shape of a tiny metal or wooden
lamella, the mouth playing the role of a resonance cavity. This instrument,
with its specific, mystical sound, was introduced to Bulgaria back in the
18c. Yankoulov developed and improved the traditional technique of
drumboy-playing.
DRUMBOY is the title of the duo's first CD. Its official promotion
took place at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
Stoyan Yankoulov is Bulgaria's most renowned drummer, with his own
style and innovative technique in creating a unique set of drums. Elitsa
Todorova sings authentic pieces from all Bulgarian folklore regions. She uses
the traditional drum-instruments in a most non-traditional way combining
singing and drum-playing at the same time. The duo has performed in Greece,
Bulgaria, Turkey, Austria, Belgium and Poland.
