Great singer most Americans have never heard of

Ever heard of Neli Andreeva ( Нели Андреева )? Probably not. She's Bulgarian, known in her homeland as a great singer of both folk music and the Bulgarian equivalent of classical crossover music.

You can buy the album with this beautiful song on it here.

Hmmm, interesting. We seem to be on a similar musical track. I have recently discovered Bulgarian music especially The Bulgarian National Radio Children's Choir and one girl in particular, Svetlina Stoyanova. This particular piece, Tarantella Napoletana, I believe to be extraordinarily beautiful. Svetlina's personality is to me a big part of it. Her execution is simply superb and seemingly effortless. I wrote to her to tell her so. In the video she is 16. She is now 22 and studying music fulltime.

P.S. I really hate proving I'm not a robot because for some unknown reason I frequently cannot get it right. Please, only if it's absolutely necessary :(
