Matej Kolar and his friend from Bosnia, Predrag Duronjic are founding members of the band DRAGA BANDA.
We play mostly traditional folk songs from our home lands - Czech, Moravian, Bosnian...BUT!
We have met on Irish music - so we are now also playing Brittony, Spanish, Slovakian...BUT!
We need not play these songs in orthodox traditional way - we like fusions and mixtures that means "World Music" for us.
Ireland, Brittony, Czech, Moravia, Slovakia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Tuva, Aborigins and Gypsies...
That’s no folklore. You just play with folk song with all your feelings, power, thruth and mistakes. Just now, just in this moment.
Music, based on ethnic, traditional or folk roots, leads into meditative and maybe even exstatic mass of instrumental noises.
