Independence Day - Força, Bulgaria!!!


Once again, we protest...!
And, once again, 
many thanks to the ingenious use of cowbells 
from one Petar Bonev
bagpiper extraordinaire 
from Bulgaria, 
making up the musical background,
which is much of the soundtrack 
for these videos and slideshows 
(part of our *Protestite Series*)
when there are no chants of ''OSTAVKA!''
nor inspirational speeches 
from ''Ostavka-Man'' 
to be heard and enjoyed!

Merci!

Konsolidatsiya - Consolidação - Unity!

How better to solidify a nation 
than to refocus upon the common struggle that it faces? 
And how better to drive the point across 
than by underlining the bond between nations 
(Bulgaria and Portugal, in this particular case -
why? 'Cause I say so - and am it!) 
with style, substance and panache 
and doing so with sub-titles, to boot - in a third language!

For I've said it before, and I state it again, here:
Bulgaria and Portugal have a ton of things in common! 
Not only do they share virtually the same national colors 
(the only closer match would be Hungary and Bulgaria!) 
but they also share a similar long, hard-luck type of history 
that made them who they are now, 
drove them to roam and conquer the entire globe 
(in different ways, granted - as in different eras too)
and shaped their nations for things to come soon... 

Their crests are astonishingly close (as they should be)




Their flags, as we said, obvious brothers of the E.U. 



And what can we say about the uncanny similarities 
that exist between the people, too?



Two countries:  two similar struggles! 
Inept governments are a fad all across the globe, 
don't you know? 

And so, having driven all that across to you, 
it is time to present our 
FEATURE PRESENTATION:


Thus, only one thing remains to say here, indeed...

And that is  

OSTAVKA!
ÉPA...! 
JÀ!

Ostavka Man!

Behold the coming of... Ostavka Man! 
Drawing upon the fortitude of ancient kings, 
Ostavka Man swears to keep a vigil 
until the evil Oligarchy is no more
Even as most other protesters 
seem to have lost interest... 
All but the Radiant One, that is! 
With she by the side of Ostavka Man, 
all of Bulgaria can rest at ease -
they've got some big-time back-up there! 
Back-up that they sorely need, too... 
But that's another story!
Let's watch the clip now...


Music Credits: 
Гайдарят с чановете - Петър Бонев 
Uploaded to soundcloud.com 
by one Boyko Gargov - 
which prompts us to say: 
thank you, Boyko!
Ironically enough...
Tis a sampling of the wondrous work 
of one... Petar Bonev!

Uncle Peter would be proud...
I think!

Bravo Bojkov

Live-streaming of all that has been going on in the streets of Sofia during these days of defiance has been assured by one man - one blogger - Yvo Bojkov, whose flawless Frenski is evidenced here in a special report on the situation that explains the entire situation - complete with German subtitles!
Numer Ein!

It sure wasn't going to be B-tv that was going to provide all this footage...!
(Certainly not anything on the re-enactment of the wall of Berlin tumbling down - or even the live staging of a very famous painting by Ferdinand Victor Eugène Delacroix on the subject of Révolution...! For once, Bulgaria will benefit for real in borrowing from the Frenski there...!)

Is Bojkov the new Botev?

We are sure Yvo wouldn't mind that - as long as the ending is decisively different there...!

Join Yvo Bojkov and all of Sofia now and chant (and dance!) with us:

OSTAVKA!
OSTAVKA!
OSTAVKA!

Az stoya zad protestite!

Pause Dégustation Durant La Manif...


NO WALNUTS 
AND NO PUMPKIN - 
PERFECT!!!

OSTAVKA!
OSTAVKA!!
OSTAVKA!!!

Many thanks to all the protesters who showed up, 
of all ages, levels of ''fed-upness'' and more, 
to George Lucas for the rebellious inspiration, 
to Commie goofs for the material 
with which we can knit our laughing stockings, 
to the Notre-Dame Basilica of MTL 
(for the background it provided, 
the atmosphere it created as  
for its Parisian flair - and envy) 
And to our musical guest, 
 Volodja Stoyanov 
(a Bulgarian with a Russian name 
who hails from a Macedonian region 
and musical background - actually!)
whose song enhances this new slideshow  
(his masterful ''Nazad Nazad Mome Kalino'' 
is sampled here - and it, once again, 
delivers the right tone and rhythm 
for this 2nd mini-epic luminous production! 
Buy Volodja Stoyanov CDs 
wherever good Bulgarian music is sold - too!) 
Merci!
