Free Balkan Quintet is an ensemble based in Prague, who with dignity and courage adapt folk music of the Balkans. Mixing into it the influences of jazz, contemporary music and free improvisation, the unique rhythms and melodies of the East remain more (or less) intact. Imaginative arrangements are concocted by guitar/banjo player Tomáš Mika and Australian accordionist Kieren Alexander, who are joined by violinist Milan Jakeš, bassist Ondřej Komárek, and Jaroslav Noga, amongst other things, on drums.

Free Balkan Quintet je ansámbl se základnou v Praze, který s lehkostí, úctou a odvahou zpracovává lidovou hudbu balkánských zemí. Mísí vlivy jazzu, soudobé hudby i volné improvizace, ale výrazné rytmičnosti balkánské hudbě vlastní se nabažíte také. Nápadité aranže z pera banjisty Tomáše Miky a australského akordeonisty Kierena Alexandera provedou ještě Milan Jakeš na housle, Ondřej Komárek na basu a Jaroslav Noga na bicí.
