Spread the Chalga Word

Only a few days after Petya complained about having a certain chalga song stuck in her head (which by the way is mentioned in the article to follow)... my sister came across the following article. So it seems that now even the rest of Europe will learn of the "monster" that is chalga. A few excerpts (бисери) from it that made me laugh:

1. Throngs of visitors descend on the venue from every angle; from young people to young families, soldiers to students, all united in one aim: to lose themselves in the thrill of a Chalga concert. (Оh, yes, the thrill....)
2. Forget Berlin's ultra-minimalist techno scene or Paris's fanfare-musette; the ethnic pop genre is tailored to Sofia's younger generation. You'll find a typical Chalga fan immersing themselves in the music of choice after a hard day’s work, often wearing themselves out on a weekend in one of the numerous 'folkotheques.' (Apparently, this is the new European cool music genre...)
3. Critics are solely in the ranks of rock singers and music researchers (hmmm, what about the rest of the chalga-hating population... or is the author implying that we are all chalga lovers at heart, but just don't know it yet? i.e., that we need to come out of the chalga-phobic closet, so to speak?)

Anyway, I think it's all around quite amusing (and somewhat informative for those who know nothing of chalga)... so, enjoy.
