Rumen Shopov hails from Gotse Delchev. An astonishing master of the tambura
(long necked mandolin), bouzouki, and an accomplished drummer and vocalist
as well, Rumen was the concertmaster of the Nevrokopski Folk Ensemble,
Bulgaria's first national folk ensemble, for more than 20 years. He was
also lead member of two of the Pirin region's hottest bands: "Shturo
Make" and "Orkestar Orbita.". Now residing in the San Francisco
Bay Area, he has assembled a band that captures and showcases the sparkling
fretwork, incendiary rhythms, and expressive soul of his native Bulgarian/Turkish-Romani
musical tradition.
