DUET MARIANA AND TODOR TRAYCHEV
Just before the dramatic escape to the U.S. Dimitrov Young Communist League have chosen Todor as a "Musician of the Year - 1983". The state owned Music Company "BALKANTON" produced 120,000 copies of the album "Drawings" overflowing with exquisite lyrical sentiment and perfect music.
