It was founded in 1944 by Dragan Prokopiev as the Ensemble of the Bulgarian People's Army.[1] At the time, the choir recruited some of the most famous Bulgarian singers such as Dimitar Uzunov and Nikola Nikolov.
In 1962, a Pop Music ensemble was founded at the Theatre of the People's Army in Sofia, and was incorporated into the Song and Dance ensemble in 1977.
Since its creation, the ensemble has performed in Europe, Asia, South America and Africa, and has been praised everywhere for the quality of its performance. In the 2000s, the ensemble included two main quartets, Song Male Vocal Quartet and the Ladena Women's Folk Quartet. In 2009, it was renamed to the Representative Ensemble of the Armed Forces.[2]
