Football, funk and charity or simply Tri O Five. “Where is the point of intersection”? - you may ask. The uniting strand is the joint concert of the band and the initiative I Can Too of the peak start of World Cup in South Africa on June 11 (Friday) from 11:00 p.m. in Sofia Live Club.

But if the sport comments do not belong here, then a few words about your favorite musicians are not in surplus. Perhaps you have heard them live or at least you've seen one of their videos. If you do not - do it; if you are one of those who have already had the chance to enjoy the music and their stage presence, you certainly know that Michael, WahTony, Deso and DJ Ilko can not disappoint you. Moreover, the boys from Tri O Five are among the musicians who impress with their genuine artistic nature. If you need a solid soulful male voice, masterfully funky bass, sexy sax and dynamic house beat - Tri O Five is the answer to the question. The band is a gem of the club scene and irreplaceable helper in the fight against bad mood. 

Tri O Five were recently called “the best band in Bulgaria” by the Monaco royalties.

The funds went for the creation of Medical center for children with disabilities.

One of the accents of the initiative “I Can Too” is to focus public attention on the problems and responsibilities of healthy siblings in families with disabled children, for whom was developed the project “Substitute Parents”. Since the so-called “substitute parents” are the greatest victims of the problems their brothers or sisters experience, the foundation channels a great part of their effocrts to support and stimulate their talents.

What happens with the talents in these families?

With the “Toast” from the opera “Traviata” the musical part of the event was flow into the charitable exhibition of drawings, donated by children for their peers with disabilities and health issues. In this way all of the invited guests, including managers of prominent companies, members of parliament, representatives of foreign embassies, members of the art and sports elite, the media and others, were able to support the children.
