CD cover of the live concert in Sofia, Bulgaria by Sylvie Vartan

Sofia, Bulgaria - October 6, 1990  This is the CD cover of the live concert that Sylvie Vartan performed for in Sofia, Bulgaria on October 6, 1990.  This was her first performance in her native country and her first time back there after being in exile for 38 years!  Sylvie Vartan, who like me was born in Bulgaria, is my favorite singer and I only wish I could have been there in person to see her perform.  It turns out that like her, I also went back to Bulgaria:  It was in July 1991, almost a year after she went back, and after having been in exile for 29 years that I finally went back to my homeland to see friends and relatives for the first time since I was 6 years old.  In this CD, Sylvie Vartan sings in French, in English and even in Bulgarian!  Her live rendition of Imagine is as good (if not better) as John Lennon’s. Sylvie Vartan became famous in France after recording her first song Panne d’Essence (Out of Gas), which became an instant hit when she was only 16 years old!  Since then, she has sold over 40 million records worldwide.  The songs in this CD are very touching, especially for someone like me who like her fled from the Iron Curtain at a young age.  In fact, after reading her autobiography, I found out that her childhood was eerily similar to mine.  You can order this CD on the Internet from www.Amazon.fr.
