Ivanka Georgieva

Ivanka Georgieva (Bulgarian: Иванка Георгиева) was a Bulgarian singer. She was one of the first stars of Bulgarian "ethnopop" music. At the end of the 1930s and the beginning of the 1940s, she recorded more than 200 songs for the Bulgarian music companies Orpheus-Simonavia, Arfa, London Record, Balkan and Patria. Most of her songs became well-known favourites among the city and village audiences. Georgieva was born Ivanka Dinolova in Vidin (Northwest Bulgaria) in 1903, of Vlach decent.
