Hristina Beleva is a Bulgarian musician, artist, performer of the traditional instrument gadulka- invariably accompanying the Bulgarian folklore traditions from ancient times. Hristina's playing is delicate, sensual, deep. She collaborates with musicians from all over the world. When she plays, she strives to preserve the folklore traditions of Bulgaria and the Balkans. She easily paves the way for the gadulka in other genres in music. When Hristina talks about the gadulka, you will hear one thing: "This is a world instrument and it sounds beautiful!"
