Peculiarities of the Bulgarian mentality
Bulgaria is a European country located in the eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula, the only European power that has retained its original name from its creation in 681 to the present day. As we all remember from the lessons of world history, Bulgaria was enslaved by the Ottoman Empire in the 14th century. (1396) and remained under Muslim rule until the last quarter of the 19th century. (1877-1878 - Liberation War in Bulgarian history or the Russian-Turkish War in our sources). These almost five hundred years undoubtedly influenced the Bulgarians as a nation and changed the Bulgarian identity forever.

Bulgarian contemporary music
Contemporary music in Bulgaria, as such, has developed in the country since 1989, after the fall of the communist system, as, indeed, in the Motherland. Until this moment, the only version of music that existed was pop music in the same form that existed and, alas, still exists in the former Soviet lands. Western music was censored and made available only through the efforts of sailors bringing back vinyl records from months-long international voyages. However, the 90s opened the door to music on a global scale, in all its diversity and diversity - reggae, hip-hop, rock, metal and punk. Western influence and the end of censorship gave rise to an incredible number of young performers who sought to express themselves at any cost - recording "albums" on cassettes in basement studios, distributing them among friends by dubbing them from cassette to cassette.

Lifestyle - ailyak
Looking into the Bulgarian explanatory dictionary, we will see that “aylyak” means a person who does not know work and worries. If you ask Bulgarians what aylyak is, they will tell you that it is a wonderful state of mind in which you may not have a job or money, but you feel good, relaxed and nothing bothers you. This short word contains the whole essence of the Bulgarian mentality, which can also be described by the legendary quote from the Bob Marley song - “Don’t worry, be happy.”

Cooker games or carnival in Bulgarian
Kukers usually appear in the winter season, which is partly understandable; in the summer the sun would hardly allow them to stay in such costumes for a long time. According to tradition, Kukers drive away evil spirits and creatures from a person’s home and household, and also win over good patrons of a good harvest.
