Svetlio & the Legends


Svetlio & the Legends, also referred to as Svetlio Hipodilski i Legendite, is a Bulgarian alternative rock band, formed in 2007 by former members of Hipodil.

History

Hipodil broke up in 2004, but still played gigs. In 2006, at a concert at Zimen dvorec in Sofia, Hipodil played alongside Revyu and Upsurt. They debuted a new song entitled "Let Me Da Te Love You", which used a mixed form of Bulgarian and English words.
In 2007, Svetlio and the Legends released their debut album, Bulgarno in 2007. The album stated it contained 10 tracks, however only nine were released, because track 5, "Povarhnostni rani" was said to have been plagiarised from an Italian pop song. The track "Let Me Da Te Love You" was on it, and it became a big hit. A music video was filmed for it.
In 2008, the video for "Povarhnostni rani" was released, however the beginning and end of the song were faded out.
In 2011, the band released their second album IBAN. It contained the hit "Boli me gaza", the full version of "Povarhnostni rani", two versions of the track "CMR/ЧМР" and a track called "Rambo Silek", which according to Svetlio was intended for Hipodil's ill-fated sixth album Aa, Bb, Vv, Gg, Zz.... That year, Svetoslav Vitkov and Vencislav Micov were nominated for president and vice president in the 2011 Bulgarian elections.
In 2012, they released a music video for a song called "Mitko" .
On 27 March 2015, they played their first gig in the English-speaking world at the 100 Club in London.
