Naked<\/strong>\u00a0represents a blend of the music tradition of the Balkans and the global jazz scene. It is precisely this unusual combination that makes them stand out, and their originality is the main reason for the HEMI nomination in this fierce competition. Their music could best be described as a fusion of global rhythms, Balkan musical tradition, and free jazz, while their ability to combine various concepts perfectly is the reason everyone should see this band live at least once.<\/p>\n Their third album, called \u201cNakedonia,\u201d was released in the early spring of 2015, and this release combines the name of the band and the country of North Macedonia, situated in the Balkans. According to an interview with the band, Nakedonia is an allusion to a fictional country that values music above all else.<\/p>\n They have a considerable number of concerts behind them, along with a long career that seems to have been going exclusively uphill from day one.<\/p>\n
