YANA VLAEVA EP LAUNCH @ the muddy puddle

Yana Vlaeva is a Bulgarian folk singer living in London, known for her expressive voice and deep connection to traditional song. After years performing in choirs across Europe, including the London Bulgarian Choir and Nusha Choir led by Neli Andreeva, she now sings solo, honouring the raw a cappella tradition and weaving in accompanied versions that bear her distinctive mark. Her debut EP Godini (Years) draws on the richness and depth of Bulgarian traditional music, offering an intimate encounter with ancestral sound and songs of love, loss, and resilience.

Join Yana for the launch of her debut EP Godini (Years) - an intimate evening of songs tracing the emotional landscapes of various Bulgarian folklore regions. The programme moves between raw a cappella tradition and delicate arrangements for voice, guitar, and piano, inviting the listener into the rich emotional textures of Bulgarian folklore through stories of love, longing, and resilience.

 For this special night, Yana is joined by pianist Ned Cartwright, guest singers from the London Bulgarian Choir, and her sister Denny Vlaeva. Together they bring timeless Bulgarian song into a contemporary setting, creating a deeply personal and uplifting celebration of heritage, resilience, and the passing of years.
