An essential listen. MOJO

Otherworldly female vocals from extraordinary performers have always been the trademark of world- famous choir ensemble The Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices (formerly known as Les Mystères Des Voix Bulgares).

After an almost 20-year hiatus due to the death of producer Marcel Cellier, the choir released its critically acclaimed comeback BooCheeMish in 2018 together with esteemed guest vocalist Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance), combining magnificent vocals from various stylistic backgrounds and traditional Bulgarian instruments with modern elements like beatboxing.

New 7-track release Shandai Ya / Stanka presents the strongest songs from BooCheeMish in even more refined versions alongside two exclusive tracks an impressive live rendition of Gerrards solo composition Rite Of Passage from a concert in Warsaw, Poland and Zaidi Sluntse, a collaboration between the choir and beatbox world champion SkilleR, marrying vocal skills that could not be more contrastive to great effect.
