Maria Dimova - MIA D. has been singing since the age of four. As someone who likes to go beyond the boundaries, MIA D. feels equally at home in pop and R&B, as well as in Bulgarian folklore, which she was raised with. She approaches it as something mysterious, mystical, inexplicable, magical - that's why she perceives herself more as a seeker of magic. That's why she continues modernizing it and this time she focused on a folk song from the Thracian region, called "Privlyazla e Ginka".

The singer worked on it with Shterion Pilidov, who made the arrangement, while Peyo Peev joined with his gadulka. Dimitar Ganchev is responsible for the sound. MIA D. shares the interesting story of the song, also reflected in the video, which was filmed on an old film camera:

"I have known this song from the Bulgarche Ensemble, from my teacher Galya Ivanova. With Shterion Pilidov we decided to revive a song that is not very popular. I wanted to show that without foundations and without roots, we have no future. I feel the song is something very special. It's nice to sing about things that you can make happen - just like magic."
