The maxi single of the winners of the Slovene EMA 2010 contest and the Slovene representatives for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Oslo offers diverse versions and remixes of their winning song Narodnozabavni rock (Folk Pop & Rock). In the song the act harmoniously merges two music genres generally considered incompatible in Slovene musical production.

Ansambel Žlindra (the Žlindra ensemble) represents the first part of the title of the song, Folk Pop. Rok Žlindra has performed with his accordion at a long row of events since his early teens. His greatest wish was to have his own musical group. Therefore he invited the singer Barbara to join him. At a party he met Rok Modic and through him Nejc Drobnič. Their debut as a group was followed by a number of festivals and awards. In 2007 they released their first CD.

The group Kalamari formed in November 1993, when three of the members joined forces for a few performances in one of the Slovene coastal hotels. Due to their professional performance and harmonious trio of voices they were immediately noticed by both audience and experts. They tried their luck with original songs very soon and in 1995 released a CD with a few radio hits. They gained wider recognition in Slovenia through the release of their second CD S Tabo Držim (I'm on your side). Their most recent CD Veliko srce (The Big Heart - available in our shop - CD 111426), their 7th altogether, was released in November 2009.
