Mita Stoicheva

Mita Stoicheva (Bulgarian: Мита Стойчева; born in 1909) was a Bulgarian singer. Her native village, Mekish, near the North Bulgarian town of Veliko Turnovo, provided a rich climate for singing. Mita absorbed songs from her grandmother, her sisters, and from female neighbours of all ages. Her marriage, at a tender age nearly thwarted her future singing career. It was the village mayor, however, who suggested that she appear at a local singing contest in 1939.
