The song "Mome" combines elements of Bulgarian folk music and the modern sound of club rhythms. It is performed by the young folk singer Diyana Vasileva and the producer with the artistic pseudonym Atazar.  

"Mome" is a song about the beauty of the Bulgarian woman.  

Some time ago, Diyana Vasileva recorded a song for the Hollywood movie "Borat 2" (with the participation of the Oscar-nominated Bulgarian actress Maria Bakalova). Atazar is among the famous producers of ethno-house music based on Bulgarian folk rhythms and melodies.  

Authors of the music and arrangement of "Mome" are Diyana Vasileva and Atanas Zaikov.
