Dimitar Voev

Dimitar Pavlov Voev (1965 –1992) was a Bulgarian poet, composer, vocalist and musician (bassist), best known as the founder of the cult Bulgarian dark wave band " New Generation “, formed in 1987 and existing in various lineups until his death in 1992.

In 1985, Voev and Vasil Gyurov founded the first post-punk band in Bulgaria - " Kale ". Their first performance was in 1987 at the First Sofia Rock Festival, but after the third song they were removed from the stage. A year later, "Kale" disbanded, and Dimitar founded the band "Vhod B". Soon the band was renamed " Nova generatsiya ", the name coming from Voev's poem "Nova generatsiya zaviniga". The songs "Samo dvama", "Ice", "Patriotic song", "Scorpions dance alone" and others became big hits. 

In 1989, Balkanton released songs by Nova generatsiya and Kontrol on gramophone records. In 1991, the band's first solo album, entitled "Forever", was released.

 Voev died at the age of 27 from a brain tumor. After his death, the album "Beyond Death" was released, which included the last recordings of Voev and Nova Generatsia . In 1994, a collection of his poems "Greetings from Me, the Gods" was published.
