Selección de tangos presents a selection of favorite tangos, chosen for their emotional depth, historical weight, and pure musical beauty. This inaugural solo bandoneon album by Stoyan Karaivanov aims to unveil the instrument's profound expressiveness within a more personal, unaccompanied setting. Each composition narrates a distinctive tale, embodying various epochs and styles of tango, articulated through a unique voice and ardor for this enduring music.
Stoyan Karaivanov stands out as Bulgaria’s first bandoneon virtuoso and a fresh, compelling voice on the world tango stage. His playing blends deep respect for tradition with a modern, expressive touch—qualities that brought him several high honors and growing international recognition. His career reflects both a deep lineage - carrying forward lessons from tango’s masters - and a inventive spirit, opening fresh paths for the bandoneon in Bulgaria and beyond. In 2025 he received the Krefelder Bandoneon-Preis, an award that pays tribute to Heinrich Band, the instrument’s inventor, and celebrates exceptional bandoneon artistry. Winner of the 2025 Young Artist category in the "Crystal Lyre".
