2009 has been a productive year for the Bulgarian musicians mixing everything from Hip-Hop to Dance into intoxicating brass band driven pop.  I’ll start this retrospective of the best Bulgarian chalga of the year with one of my favorite Sofi Marinova & Ustata tracks that came out late last fall.  The video is ridiculously funny as well.
