Об исполнителе:
The vocal group Трамвай №5 was founded in 1980 by Петко Петков, Кирил Иванов (till 1983); Александрина Митрева, Сами Живкова (till 1983); Оля Громова (from 1983); Гинка Жекова (from 1983); Мая Райкова (from 1983). The leader isПетко Петков - highly experienced from his participation in Студио В, and Кирил Иванов - a sound engineer in the Bularian National Radio. The idea is to create a "schlager" - group led by Петко Петков (the backing vocals in many of the songs are various young performers). They gain popularity with disco-style cover-versions, also promoted by well-made TV-performances, pioneering a videoclip-like approach. The live shows (usually without a band, on "playback") include a dancing show, mostly thanks to Александрина Митрева (a ballet dancer in the Musical Theatre). They make live ant TV shows in в Germany, Russia, Poland, Tunesia, Marocco, Algeria and more. A great success is their co-operation with Кукери, in 1987 (recital on Българска Телевизия - Мелодия На Годината, then a live tour in Russia). In the 90'es they split, Петко Петков performs solo and in duets with the opera-singer Стефка Минева. Гинка Жекова starts a solo-careed as Джина Иванова and she is the main initiator of getting Трамвай №5 back together. Their first live performance is on 7 Dec 2006. In 2008 г. they share the stage with the disco legend [a235979], and an year later they take part in [a235979]'s tour, ending up again in Sofia, on 5 Dec 2009.
