Nicole and Marina Ivanov are sisters involved in folk singing and folk dancing.

Nicole Ivanova has been singing folk music since the age of five, starting at the Honor Community Center, and then the great Yanka Rupkina began working with her. Nicole performs folk music with great love, because as she says "This is our music and we must appreciate and respect it". Despite her tender age, she has won more than 150 medals at national and international festivals.

Marina Ivanova, like her sister, has been involved in folk dancing since she was a child, and in folk singing for about a year. She is a child who with great desire and diligence bravely treads the path of her grandmother. Together they have shared a stage, Nicole singing and Marina performing the dance to the song.

To be able to develop and "check the clock" at what level you are, you have to participate in international festivals, invitations to which are not lacking this year. However, participation in these festivals is entirely at the expense of the participants. At the moment I have not found an institution that supports our folklore, which I think is very sad, because there is no money for folklore, but there is money for other kinds of music.

The first goal of the children is the International Festival "Creativita senza frontiere" from 28.07/02.08 in Italy.

The amount needed for the two children will be about 7000 BGN, this includes air tickets, participation fees, making a folk song arrangement, accommodation and food.

I hope that with your support the children will be able to celebrate our folklore all over the world this year.
