The project aims to break these stereotypes and offer a different cultural perspective of this ghetto.

The album “Ghetto Hope” puts forward music, which has no analog in Western culture – authentic Gypsy compositions mixed with elements from Bulgarian and Turkish folklore, as well as with jazz and even reggae. The great musician Angel Tichaliev – a driving force behind the original Karandila orchestra – cultivated and developed the talent possessed by these young diamonds in the rough. While listening to the band you will find yourself in a different, unknown world, sincere and sunny in a childlike way. Like a flowing river of life, these children leave behind the endless misery and any prejudices that plague their everyday lives in this hectic crisis-laden civilization. The unique quality of the music is underlined by the fact that world famous Bulgarian musicians like Milcho Leviev, Theodosii Spassov and Vladimir Karparov, agreed to appear on the album.

“Angel’s Club” is a small music school of Angel Tichaliev, a man whose dream came true. Over the years, Angel gave children the gift of love for music and the dream that now shines in the eyes of each and every one of them: to become professional musicians.

In addition to the project, the band helps preserve and pass on the traditions from generation to generation of Bulgarian brass bands, whose numbers have been declining rapidly during the last two decades, due to the extensive use of electronic devices in music production. This album is an example of tradition in the fundamental meaning of the word, namely as the preservation of the uniqueness of Bulgarian, Roma and Balkan folklore.
