Ja sam iz Hrvatske, druga pevačica je polu-Mađarica, u bendu su i Srbi, Crnogorci.

According to the band’s singer, Ida Prester, it was a uniqueexperienceandshewasveryhappythat thebandparticipatedinsuchamajor festival. “Weplayed infrontof apackedhall,whichwas thebest-attendedconcertofourdomestic performers to date. I thinkwe presented ourselves verywell andwhilewewere still there we signed contract for performances at numerous other festivals across Europe.” And not only that, right? You had the opportunity to play and sing in themost unusual place – inaplane at 10,000metres! “Wedecided togift twosongs to thepassengersof Air Serbia,whichwasour partner for the journey to Eurosonic. And it was good for us as a“general rehearsal”prior to the festival. Everyonewas initially surprised, but theyquickly caught the rhythm, turnedon their phones to record us and spread smiles. At the end, the entire plane joined us, singing and clapping to the beat, itwas really touching. Many of thepassengers later approachedus and thanked us, having never before experienced something like that aboard a plane. Howdid cooperationwithAir Serbia come about? “Given that we mostly perform abroad, we are frequent iers with Air Serbia. We gradually realised that our interests overlap andbecame partners.We are complementary in our desires, as we need high-quality aviation services, and the airline needs some new form of surprise-entertainment for guests. This is just the beginning; we’ve also agreed numerous other activities. Let those remain a surprise.” Tell us something about the band, which is a collection of people from the Balkans whoactually combine all the sounds of these territories in yourmusic... “We are a band composed of musicians from throughout the region. I’m from Croatia, while the other singer is half-Hungarian, and in the band there are also Serbs and Montenegrins. An inspiring fusion, just like the Balkans as a whole. We want to present it the way we see it – as a place full of passions, ideas and extremes. Here there’s an interweaving of wealth and poverty, beauty and trouble, modernity and tradition. And yet people that have learned to accept all of that with a smile and with pride. This our little part of the world is a wonderful place.
