The world's only Finnish-Bulgarian World Fusion band DANTCHEV:DOMAIN has released the second single "In a Key of D" from their upcoming third album "To Those Who Have Gone, I Sing in a Key of D".
In a Key of D is a song about strength and banishing evil. The single was released on August 1, 2025 on all streaming platforms and as a music video.
Inspired by the ancient yet still vibrant Bulgarian Kukeri tradition, the song tells of masked figures who banish evil with wild dancing, high energy, and the clanging of loud bells tied to their waists. Old traditions can also empower individuals today. One's own inner strength—one’s personal Kukeri—can be anchored in the image of these ancient masked warriors.
The song’s title underscores the strong personal musical voice of Finnish-Bulgarian composer and lyricist Anna Dantchev. "In a Key of D" blends rock, mountain singing, guitar heroism, punk trombone, and leaping cowbells.
The album "To Those Who Have Gone, I Sing in a Key of D" will be released in early September 2025.
The first single from the album, “The Rough Path,” was released on June 13, 2025.
