.: Valeri Dimchev
These excellent musicians and composers convince me that there are many people in the west, which will enjoy this unique and refreshing Bulgarian jazz/folk music.

Dimchev, though is a progressive; some of the tunes of his recital were closer to jazz than to tradition. The tamboura is a string instrument with a teardrop body and a long neck, and, in Dimchev's hands, is capable of great subtlety
Ed Ward, Wall Street Journal (USA)
Dimchev's own tamboura and Anton Apostolov's guitar kept us quiet, intricate but mesmerizing focus for much of the opening set, occasionally broken with the beautiful, mournful tone of Desislava Dimcheva's vocals.
Roger Levesque, Edmonton Journal (Canada)

Valeri Dimchev was born in 1963 in the town Blagoevgrad, south-west Bulgaria. He studied tamboura in the Folk Music school in Shiroka luka and AMTII Music Academy in Plovdiv. During his studying in the university, Valeri Dimchev played with the famous wedding orchestra “Orpheus” with the violinist Georgi Yanev. After coming back to his home place – Blagoevgrad, he formed his own group. Later the vocal Desislava Dimcheva joined.

The constant search of new ideas, styles and experiments shapes the image of the group. What characterizes the music of the trio, is the link with the intonation and rhythmic traditions of Bulgarian folklore, typical unequal rhythms 7/8, 9/8, 11/8, etc., together with traditional instruments (tamboura, tarambuka, folk singing).

Keeping the unique style of its music the trio has released several albums in Bulgaria, Europe, and North America.

Valeri Dimche Trio has been touring in Europe, North America, Asia – France, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Czech Republic, Norway, Germany, Canada, Republic of Makedonija, Malaysia having live performances as concerts, festivals and workshops with Bulgarian music.
