Another July Morning!!!

 ... but the first time we underline, here, 

the luminous connection 

between Bulgarian and Portuguese Dreams 

each and every sunrise on 

THE 1ST OF JULY!  

AMALIA 

RODRIGUES 

was born... in July. 

Sometime in July ~ no one knows 

the exact date; we're not sure why!? 

But she was assuredly born at some 

point in this month... and, now, 

were she still with us... 

she would be a Centenarian. 

During her lifetime, not knowing 

the exact date of her birth, she chose 

to celebrate her birthday on the 

1st day of the month ~ 

a luminous choice...! 

... so it is with special gusto, 

this year, that we sing along 

with Uriah Heep 

and all Bulgarians 

in the (very) early hours of 

the first sunrise of July 

for what would have been 

the 100th (101st?) anniversary 

of the Queen of Fado 

also...!!! 

JULY MORNING 

symbolizing and representing 

so much - so many things, verily - 

this added coincidence 

is like... 

the cherry on the cake 

~ she would say! 

July Morning - AND Canada Day! Da!

Bulgarians who double up as Canadian-Bulgarian (in the same vein as Canadiens-Français - sort of) can enjoy two songs rather just one on this day of moving, among other things...

First and foremost, there is Uriah Heep's unforgettable anthem...

And then, there is the Canadian anthem, of course (duh!) of which we have found an alternate version, further ''alternated'' by someone who  undeniably thought of inserting a familiar face into the whole thing, for the utmost pleasure of all Bulgarians who love... Russia.

Hey, it could have been worse: it could have been Boiko and his clowns! 

Ha!  OSTAVKA!

But that's another story...!

One Last July Morning, Everyone...?

За тази година!

Merci! 

:-) 

July Morning

July morning in Bulgaria has become a festival embued with a very special atmosphere with this awesome rock anthem from Uriah Heep, a band born in London but forever linked to Bulgaria - as many of us born elsewhere are, too!

 Meeting on the Black Sea coast for a senses-shattering July morning is the epitomy of national pride for all Bulgarians - born or naturalized! ;-)

 How I wish I was there, in beautiful Bulgaria, this July Morning...! <3
