My Take

Laka interests me because of where his music comes from. Born in Goražde in 1969, he came of age through the end of socialism and the Bosnian war, then carried that weight into rock songwriting. Winning the 2008 MTV Europe Music Award for Best Adria Act tells me he was no fringe act but a genuine regional voice. There's a lovely tension between the breezy nickname and the heavy history behind it. I tend to trust artists who sing from places that have been through fire, and Laka strikes me as exactly that kind of writer.
