Радослав "Gipsy" Банга создал группу,
пригласив в нее скрипача Войтеха "Bela"
Лавичка, Петра "Durman" Сурмай и Яна "Rotvajler"
Сурмай. Группа исполняет взрывоопасную смесь
рэпа, цыганско музыки, фанка и этно попа, в
которую добавлена определенная доля юмора и
иронии. Рэппер и автор
песен Радослав Банга, известный также как Gipsy,
родился в 1982 году. В возрасте 12 лет он написал
свой первый текст песни, а год спустя начал
заниматься хип-хоп музыкой. В 1997 году Радек Банга
сформировал свой первый музыкальный проект Syndrom

рядом известных артистов. Он выступал в качестве
гостя с оркестром Бобана Марковича, пел на одной
сцене с GZA, выступал на основных музыкальных
фестивалях, Karneval der Kulturen в Берлине и ряде
концертов в Берлинском Kaffee Burger. В дополнение он
явлется регулярным гостем радио Multikulti/Funkhaus. С 2005
года он сфокусировался на своей группе Gipsy.cz На суд зрителей Евровидения группа предложила две абсолютно новые песни - "Aven Romale" и "Do You Wanna". Режиссер Cosmoboy и оператор Антонио Риестра сняли на эти, ранее не исполнявшиеся, песни видеоклипы, совместно с Stilking Films и Mars Promotion.
