OREANDA-NEWS People's Artist of Russia Philip Kirkorov flew to Bulgaria. The singer shared his emotions from the trip on Instagram (a social network banned in Russia; owned by Meta, a recognized extremist organization and banned in the Russian Federation).

The performer posted footage of the members of the pop duo "Riton", whom he called the stars of the Bulgarian pop scene.

"I stopped by my historical homeland and met friends with whom we have been friends for half a century," Kirkorov wrote. He noted that thanks to the Bulgarian band, such hits as "Carmen" and "Dream" appeared in his repertoire.

Earlier, Kirkorov congratulated Ukrainian singer Sofia Rotaru on her birthday. He thanked the artist for her emotions, songs and creativity, and also admitted that he gets goosebumps every time he meets the performer.
