This year, not one, but three musical evenings will be offered to the people of Gabrovo by the festival - "The rivers of the city - Gabrovo - youth events against the current". It will be held from August 25 to 27 in the Yantra riverbed, near the House of Humor and Satire. The three days will be filled with various events - creative workshops, sports initiatives, cinema, art bazaar, photo contest, games. We will tell you about them in the coming days. Now let's start with the music!
On Friday evening, the audience is in the hands of the singer-actress-artist Mila Robert. She has been described in terms ranging from "interesting" to "scandalous", and her music has been described as a mix of genres and aiming to show how thin the line between them is. We love Mila Robert and can't wait to hear her new project "AffirMILAtions" and sing along to "It's ours, Sashe", "Moment" or "Everything suddenly lights up". And everyone else, of course! A warm connection to the previous edition of our festival is her song with Molets (last year's guests) "Strong", which we like a lot and want to hear too! We are waiting for you, Dear Robert!
Day two - Saturday - we will spend in the company of one of the most summery, pleasant, cheerful and neglige groups "Ogi23". We read in an interview that they had 23 in their name because they wanted everyone to be famous at 23. We think they got it right and we're set for a soundly party. We send them lots of love, even though it's hot in Gabrovo and it's not easy for us.
And we got to day three - "Antifreeze" and Tsunami Rock Band. The music of "Antifreeze" is in the style, as they define it, "folk punk-thrash". In 2017, their first album titled "Coalition for Mental Unfreezing" was released, and in 2022, the second one, called "Pub", was released. Surely you have heard the songs "Sir Stanley Royce", "In the Village", "Shop".
Tsunami Rock Band jams right after them and we expect to be blown off the stage. They will present both their original songs and their own interpretations of famous pop, rock and blues songs from Bulgaria and the world. We will have the opportunity to hear Red hot chili peppers, Status Quo, ZZ Top, AC/DC, Queen, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Bryan Adams, Vasco the Patch. 
The Rivers of the City - Gabrovo - Youth events against the current is organized by the Youth Center - Gabrovo and the "Collective" foundation under project #BGLD-2.001-0009 "Opportunity for the expression of young people - creation of a youth center in Gabrovo", financed by the FM of the EEA 2014-2021. The festival is held for the second year in a row in the bed of the Yantra River, in the area of the House of Humor and Satire - a different and non-standard location, which the young people immediately recognized as their own. The dates are August 25-27, and you can follow everything about the festival in the Facebook event at this link (1) The rivers of the city – Gabrovo 2023 | Facebook.
