АНГЕЛОГЛАСНАТА ДЕСИ ДОБРЕВА (Ноември-Декември, САЩ, 2012)
посветено на Деня на народните будители
Ноември 15, 2012
Слънчева и уникална, Деси Добрева започна 5-тото си турне за българската общност в САЩ, включващо
14 концерта в 10 щата. В това турне талантливата певица представя свои нови фолклорни обработки - част от новия и албум, както и обработки на едни от най--хубавите български песни. В концертната програма Деси е включила и авторски джаз песни, както и хитове от различни жанрове, на няколко езика.
Идеята за турнето тръгва от Ансамбъл „Хоро”- Чикаго, които канят ангелогласната изпълнителка като специален гост на големия им гала-спектакъл, който ще се състои тази събота (17 ноември) в Аудитория на Североизточния университет, Чикаго.
Турнето на Деси стартира на 2 ноември с много радост и патриотично настроение във Финикс, Аризона. След което тя гостува на нашите сънародници в Сиатъл, Сан Франциско, Лос Анжелис и Сан Диего. Предстоят и концерти в Атланта, Чикаго, Детройт, Сейнт Луис, Минеаполис, Бостън и Ню Йорк.
Осъществяването им е възможно благодарение на група родолюбиви българи по градовете, които полагат изключителен труд и усилия да съхранят българската култура и традиции и да съберат нашите сънародници зад граница, за които българската музика е вдъхновение и повод за радост! Координатор на турнето е Виолета Желязкова, основател на Българо-Американски Център Мадара, Бостън.

Vassya Valentino, San Diego, Nov 15 Dessy's concert in San Diego is over. It feels like a love is going away, but it's great that at least her songs can stay with me. It's magical to meet and know a performer that one adores especially when the artist is such a rare combination of a great talant and a beautiful person.
Bella Litchev, San Diego, Nov 15 Dessy's really phenomenal...

Steven Andonov, March 14, 2009 I just made those two videos using Dessy Dobreva's take on two famous Bulgarian songs. I used scenes from Time of Violence and I think it worked out pretty well. Hope you like them! Dessy Dobreva - Devoiko Mari Hubava >
