Could be E)

[Traveller]

Nope, Pencho Slaveykov, the son of Petko Slaveykov, is a poet from nearly the same time. But he's not the author of "Epopee of the Forgotten". Btw there's one funny little poem, written by his father about him...

[Traveller]

Nobody wants to guess?

[Moryarity]

Never heard of any of them, so I take c :biggrin:

[Traveller]

C) Georgi Rakovski - revolutionary, historian, poet and writer. Organizer of the two Bulgarian legias in Serbia. And NOT the author of "Epopee of the forgotten".

And, yes, I know that none of you would know of them. It's just another guess game! :wink:

[DJ Marks]

B) Vasil Levski
C) Georgi Rakovski
D) Ivan Vazov
E) Pencho Slaveykov
F) Nikola Vapcarov
G) Elin Pelin

Answer is <D>, Ivan Vazov.

[Traveller]

Did you guess by luck or did you actually know it? The answer is right! Your turn! :go:

And btw - welcome to the forum! Feel free to have a drink at the Tavern at the Inn or at Dobber's Cafe! :cheers:

[Traveller]

Hmm, do we wait longer for a new question from DJ Marks or we use the 24h rule and just anyone gives a new one?

[Traveller]

Ok, now, really! If someone doesn't post a new question in the next few hours, I will!

Btw here's a rock clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8V_NO6u6R4), based on "Epopee of the Forgotten" (http://www.slovo.bg/showwork.php3?AuID=283&WorkID=10654&Level=2)...

Go ahead Nik..oh I mean Traveller. Give us a toughie! :rolleyes:

[Traveller]

Sorry, wasn't here yesterday...
Ok, here's a toughie:

Which of the following Bulgarian bands has an album about the last Bulgarian Patriarch from the time of the Second Bulgarian Empire:

A) Epizod
B) B.T.R.
C) Balkanjii
D) Ahat
E) Shturcite


I believe almost all of the people here would have to guess again... :wink:

[Xuca]

C) is my answer.

[Traveller]

Sorry, Xuca, but Balkanjii haven't made such a historical (literally) album. You could try again 24h after this answer of yours.

[Largefry07]

B) B.t.r???

[Traveller]

No, Largefry, despite of B.T.R. being one of my favourite Bulgarian bands (quite a nice balladic rock), they're not the ones.

[DJ Marks]

Which of the following Bulgarian bands has an album about the last Bulgarian Patriarch from the time of the Second Bulgarian Empire:

My guess is <A>, Epizod.

[Traveller]

Hmm... You're either Bulgarian, have some extraordinary luck or are cheating with searching information. Well, I hope it's not the last! Your turn! And don't take so long again!

[DJ Marks]
