Chalga is a definition of gipsy music. There's an enormous difference between chalga and the so called POPFOLK, which is widely spread in Bulgaria. The POPFOLK music sounds more like pop rather than chalga. This difference should be noted, because not all of the bulgarian people listen to gipsy music. The brutal or "hard chalga" as it's sometimes called, has nothing to do with POPFOLK! Even it is hard, some valuable texts could be found in the pile ot scum which these beautiful girls sing.
this is a POPFOLK text, not chalga!
why do we need all this money,
when we have left with no friends,
why do we need all this money,
when our sleep goes away,
we loose our honesty, and even love,
and lonely through tears we lough,
why do we need all this money,
we live more sad than the poor!
the bottle is empty
I order one and it's OK
my heart is empty,
where can I buy a new one?
my heart is sick,
it doesn't love it doesn't hate,
when a man wins
he doesn't know what he loses!

chalga is very popular music in Bulgaria, no matter what the previous writers say...Its hard to believe to me that all the people who like CHALGA are stupid, alcohol addicted or whateva'...that is not serious....Yes its true that there are lots of stupid lyrics whit simple, shitty music, but there are most of good pieces also!Some of the singers are very good, having ultra-universal voices and abilities to sing EVERYTHING!The truth is that in Bulgaria CHALGA is popular, most people like to hear it when they take a drink or 2....and CHALGA is being sold...No other music is being sold in Bulgaria...So if a singer wants to make money of singing, he should sing CHALGA in Bulgaria...Because bulgarian folks say : "A musician does not feed a family.."...And its true, exept if you make CHALGA in Bulgaria.

The other name of CHALGA is bulgarian pop-folk music, pop-because it is popular music with no aspirations to be highly intellectual or inspiring, and folk- because it is very close in rythm and beat to traditional bulgarian folk music. It is true that there are some very vulgar texts but a more tolerant person will be able to enjoy their straightforward honesty and some very funny sexual innuendos. Most of the ballad texts have also very trivial lyrics but not less trivial than the pop and estrada text. As a matter of fact, most of the estrada music such as Tonika, Lili Ivanova and even Emil Dimitrov is copied, ok, COPIED, from Italian and French music popular in the 60s and 70s. That just shows how old fashioned this genre is while the chalga music is developing and becoming more modern every day.

Chalga is produced by some of the most gifted production crews in the world - with a stunning amalgamation of Turkish, Slavic, Celtic and Techno Fusion. The singers are always beautiful.
Most importantly, chalga is increasingly popular in Germany, scandinavia and the UK - thereby helping Bulgaria's current account and producing jobs.

From the UK's leading chalga singer, Candida:
Feel the rhythm in me
Open your eyes and see
The love you mean to me
That feels good - ah, gee!

That feels good - ah, gee!
