The Bulgarian music scene celebrated another successful international participation within the framework of the project “Export and Sustainable Positioning of the Bulgarian Music Scene on the International Market” of the Bulgarian Music Association. This time the focus was on one of the leading showcase events in Central and Eastern Europe MENT Ljubljana, where two Bulgarian projects presented our country to an international audience of festival selectors, booking agents, managers and media.

On February 19, TDK took to the stage at Menza pri koritu and presented an intense and impactful set, distinguished by their characteristic sound and strong stage presence. The concert took place in front of a full club and attracted the attention of the professional audience and led to subsequent conversations and new contacts.

The following evening, Mono and the Stereos performed in front of the audience at Orto Bar – Klub, where they offered a dynamic and confident performance, combining melodiousness and modern alternative energy. Here too, the hall was full, and their participation aroused strong interest and active reaction from the international delegates.

After both concerts, a number of professional meetings were held, and both bands received invitations for future participation in festivals in France and Serbia.

In parallel with the concert program, the Bulgarian Music Association organized a professional meeting in the form of Bulgarian Chat & Bites in the space of Kino Šiška. The event brought together representatives of the international music industry and created an environment for direct exchange, new partnerships and concrete opportunities for cooperation. The format allowed for in-depth conversations and reinforced the association’s strategic approach to building sustainable international contacts.

Participation in MENT Ljubljana is another step in the systematic work on positioning Bulgarian artists on the European showcase scene. The presentation of the two groups confirms the growing interest in contemporary Bulgarian music and its potential for international development.
