Since the programme was aired nearly a year ago, it has attracted large numbers of listeners, old and young alike, who show great passion for four genres of music: folk songs, romantic and revolutionary melodies, pop, and children’s songs.
Many listeners have the chance to exchange views with VOV presenters, expressing their love for music and showing off their voice in different genres of music.
