With three questions we turned to Mrs. Greta Kadyova, whose life since 1969. is associated with Draginovo Ensemble:
- Mrs. Kadyova tonight is for you?
The evening of 35 years of hard work and more hard work. I am pleased that among the guests is also the wife of Vasil Krivoshyski - Lyabka, because with her husband in 1969. He created the male singing group, and I created the female. Subsequently, they grew into the Draginovo Authentic Folklore Ensemble. His and my dream came true and I'm happy. I am also happy because tonight all these 35 years have passed through my mind and many of Ansambala's boys are now playing all over Bulgaria and even abroad. We are known almost all of Europe and the Balkan Peninsula, but forever I will have that unique feeling that I felt on the Alpine peak, on which we sang - there are no arrangements, no amplifiers, only our voices and the sky. When I think of abroad, that's what I think of - how we from Draginovo greeted the Alps with our unique songs. That's it! We did the impossible - the Rhodope Mountains greeted the Alps!
- You are the artistic director of the ensemble since its creation. What shouldn't a supervisor do?
- Never to think about money when working with people who are related to art.I have always been ashamed to ask for money for what God has given me. Maybe that's why I love the ensemble so much. If you put money first, it's absurd to do something real. The power is in the work and the love for it! My motto is "Do your job and show what you've done." Never speak in advance, let people praise you. And here I want to congratulate our choreographer Alexander Peev for his youthful dedication.
- On the eve of bright holidays, your thanks and wishes?
- Thank you to all our amateurs for their time and their dedicated work that we enjoy together the song, the dance and the awards. Thank you to all our sponsors, to Alben Bakardzhiev and to Bai Stoyko Yunakov for the accordion he gave. I wish all amateurs from Draginovo, Velingrad and the municipality and their families health, happy holidays and happy 2005!
