-----------------------
The Duo was founded by Stoyan Yankoulov. The energy that springs from the instruments of the two percussionists, alongside with the specific vocal technique of Elitsa Todorova, naturally accounts for the audience's respect. The unique Bulgarian duo combines rhythms from all over the world with authentic Bulgarian folklore, jazz and world music. The emblematic instrument for them - the Drumboy (or brambazuk, komar, drandar, brunchilo) is a musical instrument that has its roots in India, and it's been known in Europesince the beginning of the 14c. It's got the shape of a tiny metal or wooden lamella, the mouth playing the role of a resonance cavity. This instrument, with its specific, mystical sound, was introduced to Bulgaria back in the 18c.

Yankoulov developed and improved the traditional technique of drumboy-playing. DRUMBOY is the title of the duo's first CD. Its official promotion took place at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.

Stoyan Yankoulov is Bulgaria's most renowned drummer and percussionist, with his own style and innovative technique in creating a unique set of drums. Elitsa Todorova sings authentic pieces from all Bulgarian folklore regions. She uses the traditional drum-instruments in a most non-traditional way combining singing and drum-playing at the same time. The duo has performed in Canada, Finland, Belgium, Austria, Greece, Poland, Turkey, Hungary, Switzerland, Croatia, Russia, Serbia and Montenegro and in Africa.

Their concerts always turn into exciting spectacles for the audience's senses and souls.
