A concert on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of one of the living legends of folk music – Paicho Ivanov, held on in November 2022 in Plovdiv. The unprecedented event gathers Roma virtuoso musicians from all ages and corners of the country to pay their respects to the musician who has trained and inspired several generations. The concert is part of the long-term musical initiative of the Bulgarian drummer, composer and teacher Borislav Petrov. Since 2020, he has been exploring the roots of folk drumming styles through in-depth musical research of master drummers of Roma origin.
