An astonishing master of the tambura (long necked mandolin), bouzouki, and an accomplished drummer and vocalist as well, Rumen was the concertmaster of the Nevrokopski Folk Ensemble, Bulgaria's first national folk ensemble, for more than 20 years. He was also lead member of two of the Pirin region's hottest bands: "Shturo Make" and "Orkestar Orbita.".
