The Megdanski Leventi duo, featuring Aleksander Andonov from Nessebar, Bulgaria, and Georgi Dushev from Castelo de Rugat, Spain, is scheduled to present a performance for two bagpipes at the 11th annual “Expats Join Hands in Worldwide Dance.” This gathering is set to take place from May 15 to May 17 at BMW Park in Munich, Germany. The 16-year-old musicians, who are graduates of Petko Stoyanov in Nessebar, described their piece, titled “A Walk Through The Shopluka,” as possessing a bright character, lively rhythm, and authentic folk spirit. The leventi emphasized that their collaboration is rooted in a deep friendship for Bulgarian folk music, which they maintain through both online connection and physical gatherings.
They added that the performance incorporates elements of humor, intending to engage the audience. The festival, “Expats Join Hands in Worldwide Dance,” is dedicated to amateur folklore ensembles performing outside of Bulgaria. The initiative was established by the Ot Izvora group in Lyon, France, which hosted both the inaugural event in 2015 and the tenth edition in 2025.
For the 11th edition in Munich, organizers anticipate participation from over 100 dance ensembles and an attendance exceeding 4,000 guests. The Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) serves as the official media partner for the event and will feature all participating groups.
