DANTCHEV:DOMAIN The Lions We Are

Founded in Helsinki and led by Finnish-Bulgarian singer-composer Anna Dantchev, the band DANTCHEV:DOMAIN's second album The Lions We Are (2022) is a cinematic and genre-bending compilation whose eight tracks deal with loss, longing, loneliness, and courage. Released under the Glomama Music label, the album features the powerful and nuanced vocals of Dantchev—often called "the Bulgarian voice of Finland"—seamlessly blending with the quintet's dynamic expression that merges jazz with traditional Balkan rhythms. This work, dedicated to strong and brave women, offers the listener earthy and hypnotic world music.
