Rock supergroup Intelligent Music Project and Ronnie Romero will represent Bulgaria at the Eurovision Song Contest in Turin with the song âIntentionâ.
The groupâs participation was announced at a special press conference given by BNT broadcaster CEO Emil Koshlukov and Dr Milen Vrabevski; creator of Intelligent Music Project, with its ever-evolving lineup of superstars.
Perhaps the biggest surprise is that the god of rock Ronnie Romero (lead singer of Ritchie Blackmoreâs legendary Rainbow) will be at the helm of the ensemble!
The group also includes Bisser Ivanov, Slavin Slavchev (the winner of X factor Bulgaria), Ivo Stefanov, Dimiter Sirakov and drummer Stoyan Yankulov.
Eurovision fans will recognize Stoyan from his previous two Concours appearances with singer Elitsa: Voda (Water) finished 5th in Helsinki 2007, while Samo Shampioni narrowly missed a place in the Grand Final in Malmö 2013.
