Afion is an acoustic band whose members are drawn together by their love for playing traditional songs. Although they dont like to be put in the generally accepted niches of the existing musical genres, because of the diverse styles brewed into their repertoire performed with use of traditional and classical instruments in a way that resembles traditional sounds, they can be described as a band whose musical starting point emerges from the wide and free waters of world music.
The foundations of their whole musical expression are traditional Croatian, Macedonian and Bosnian songs with individual journeys to Armenia and Kosovo. The widest range of human experiences, from sadness and longing to happiness and exhilaration is expressed through ritual songs, cheerful dances, hilarious mocking songs and love songs.
The main attributes of Afion are their lack of pretentiousness and their naturalness. When they are on stage, their goal is to have fun and relax.
During the period of little more than four years of active performing they had around two hundred concerts in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Serbia, Russia, Sweden, France and Shetland Islands where they, on every occasion, have been able to make audience dance or to touch their feelings.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
Naše poznate "Turbo-Trash-Pop" dame LAS BALKANIERAS, su ovoga ljeta na obali adrije snimili, kao i uvijek brzinom groma, njihov treći spot njihove Dubstep cover pijesme, "Kalinka". I naravno kao i uvijek su se igrale elmentima balkanskog mediterana, samo ovoga puta na jedan malo drugačiji način, na jedan gusarsko-Elektro-Trash način.
Priča grčkih mitologija o sirenama koje su pjesmom privlačile i mamile mornare a potom ih uništavale, isto tako je remixovan, dok je poanta ostala kao i uvijek stara, igra između muškarca i žene, igra LAS BALKANIERAS. Režiju spota je radio ANTE DEKOVIĆ ,koji inače radi u Hollywoodu specijalne efekte za veće filmske produkcije, te studenski filmski team iz Aachena.
