Blagovest and Svetoslav Argirovi, or as the Argirovi brothers are known, twins born on April 23, 1959 in Plovdiv, have an occasion to treat themselves. They both graduated from the Music Academy “Prof. Pancho Vladigerov” and the Academy of Music and Dance Art in the city of Plovdiv, but with different majors: Blagovest plays the cello, and Svetoslav – the piano.

From an early age, they attract attention as singers – they are soloists in the “Children’s Wrist” choir in Plovdiv. They participated with great success in Benjamin Britten’s opera “The Little Chimney Sweep” (staged by the State Opera in Plovdiv).

The song quickly became a hit and made them extremely popular. Since then, their exceptional collaboration with Kiril Ivanov dates – “The Fog” (radio sound operator). With a number of dance hits, they established themselves among the most famous performers in Bulgarian pop music in the 80s. Sonia Vasi started her career with them.

In 1983, Balkanton released their first long-playing record “Girl for Two”, which sold more than 400,000 copies.

Between 1983 and 1986 they participated in various festivals in Bratislava and Dresden and even topped the disco chart in Hungary. After 1989, they went to work in clubs in the Scandinavian countries, Austria, Switzerland and Germany. Blagovest spent some time in Italy, and Svetoslav studied singing with Reni Brambarova.

They revived their popularity in Bulgaria in 1997 with “Got e”, the pilot song of the album “The Best and the Newest”. In 1998, Blagovest recorded an album in Norway, and Svetoslav released his first solo maxi-single “Untitled”, in which he used music from Gioachino Rossini’s opera “Otello”, living in Norway.

Together with Rositsa Kirilova, they performed the song “I chose you on purpose” for the popular children’s series “Vasco da Gama from the village of Rupcha” (1986).

In 2022, the Argirovi brothers, in co-authorship with the famous radio host Yordan Georgiev – Dancho Stalbitsa, wrote a book about the history of the duo, entitled “It’s about to be two of us”. In the same year, after a 20-year break, in which no duet album was released , Riva Sound releases the CD “How We Love You”, dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the duo.
