Lili Ivanova - Biography
Lilyana Ivanova Petrova (Bulgarian: Лиляна Иванова Петрова, born April 24, 1939 in Kubrat), known professionally as Lili Ivanova (Bulgarian: Лили Иванова) is a Bulgarian singer. In tribute to her contribution to the culture of the country, she is often referred to as the "Prima of Bulgarian popular music". Her best known songs are "Панаири" ("Fairs"), "Щурче" ("A Cricket"), "Стари мой приятелю" ("My Good Old Friend"), "Ветрове" ("Winds"), "Без правила" ("No Rules"), "Детелини" ("Clovers"), "Осъдени души" ("Doomed Souls"), "Наше лято" ("Our Summer"), "За тебе бях" ("To You I Meant"), "Хризантеми" ("Chrysanthemums"), "Camino", "Море на младостта" ("Sea of Youth") and her Russian hit "Забудь обратную дорогу" ("Forget the Road Back").
In 2000, she scored the biggest hit of her career – the song "Winds". In the years to come Ivanova performs in the biggest concert and events hall in Bulgaria, at the National Palace of Culture. On January 9, 2009 she achieves the highest honour for every singer – to performs at Olympia Hall in Paris. The singer herself continues to prove that she is capable of mastering different musical styles. She has formed several own bands during her long singing career occasionally changing her style.
Ivanova has recorded and released 35 albums and 29 singles altogether in Bulgaria, USSR, Romania, Turkey, Germany, Spain and other countries. There aren't exact statistics on the number of sold copies of her albums. According to Alexander Yosifov, ex-director of Balkanton from 1968 to 1986, Ivanova's albums in store for the Soviet Union always reached a circulation of over 1 million. The Italian Magazine L'Europeo stated that she has sold more than 10 million copies in the USSR. However, due to the Socialist system in Bulgaria, she has never received any income from the sales of the records, beside a monthly salary equal for all famous singers at that time.
