Acclaimed Bulgarian folk singer Stefka Sabotinova, known internationally as part of the Bulgarian State television female vocal choir,"The Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices" died on July 30 2010, Bulgarian media reported.

Sabotinova died aged 80. She was born on April 2, 1930 in the village of Rozov Kladenec, municipality of Stara Zagora, in south-east Bulgaria.

For many years, Sabotinova was involved in Bulgaria's premier folk ensemble Filip Koutev, where she gained cult-like status in Bulgaria, attaining international fame and recognition.

She was signed by Swiss music producer Marcel Cellier in 1975 for the project which later produced the now iconic compilation of folk songs entitled "Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares" which promoted Bulgarian folk music internationally.
