Ona Mafalda, or to give her her full name, Mafalda-Cecilia von Saxe-Coburg und Gotha, is almost certainly the only member of the Bulgarian Royal Family you'll have the chance to catch playing like in the city all week, unless you know something we don't. As a granddaughter of Simeon II, the last reigning tsar of Bulgaria, she is a member of the former Bulgarian royal family and a princess of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha-Koháry.

Beyond that extraordinary context, she is an extremely interesting artist with roots in both Spain and the United Kingdom whose sound combines the electric energy of alternative rock with the sensitivity of contemporary pop, creating a bilingual, borderless sound. Her latest album, Reset, ushers in a new era of artistic and personal renewal via electric guitars, emotional intensity and lyrics about the value of starting over.
