"Ajde na balkana" is a debut of a band from Pilsen called Prosti Dumi, the winners of the third year of "Česká spořitelna Colours Talents" competition. Their music tends towards a more progressive conception of world music by which the band tries to fuse Balkan folk music with folkrock elements and techniques. Their repertoire is inspired by Balkan folklore, ethnic music and psychedelic rock of the 70s.
Ladislav Assenov, Bulgarian author, guitar player and singer, who is the architect of the whole idea and the author of most of the repertoire, gives a stamp of authenticity to this Balkan band which makes its debut quite soon after its birth in 2005. "It is a way of conveying pain, sadness, joy, memories and yearning for Bulgarian, or rather Balkan culture and the country where I lived as a small boy. My Bulgarian grandmother brought us to local folklore and folk songs by her natural way of life. I remember her singing national songs when she was cooking or doing household chores."
