ChrehDoch

I was in my old bedroom, listening to the radio, when a fabulous song came on. I immediately recognised the woman's voice though I had never before heard this song. It was very unusual in style. The woman sang with great power, using her voice in a particularly throaty way, much like the way Bulgarian folk singers do. She was backed by musicians with a gypsy fusion sound, influenced by tango and underscored by dance music. Julia Lester announced that it was indeed my friend singing the song with her new ensemble: ChrehDoch.
