Between the 1950s and the 1990s, the Bulgarian pop music scene was dominated by a vibrant genre called "estradna muzika", which can be loosely translated as "variety show music" or simply "variety". Thousands and thousands of songs were created in this genre, and many of them remain in the collective memory of the Bulgarians even today. In her book, musicologist Rosemary Statelova provides fascinating facts about the Golden Orpheus Song Contest and interviews and stories about iconic personalities, including songwriters Toncho Roussev and Angel Zaberski, singers Emil Dimitrov, Lili Ivanova, Yordanka Hristova and Vassil Naidenov, and musician and conductor Vili Kazasyan.
