Singer and composer Vlada Tomova conjures original musical blends from her native Bulgaria and elsewhere in the Balkans, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Vlada's vocal group Yasna Voices was featured prominently on the first Balkan Beat Box CD.
Now she has assembled a stellar multi-instrumental ensemble and released her first full-length CD, Balkan Tales.
Vlada and ensemble will celebrate the new CD with a concert at the Puffin Cultural Forum in Teaneck, NJ on Saturday, December 5 - and they give us a live taste on tonight's show.
Many thanks to our illustrious engineer Glenn Luttman.
