Overview

Sounds Of Slovenia --- 2011

A group of contemporary musicians, drawn from a variety of different groups (Jararaja, Katalena, Siddharta, Magnifico, Kisha, Elevators, Fake Orchestra, Katice, Brina, APZ Tone Tomšič among others), present contemporary arrangements and interpretations of Slovenia's extraordinary folk music heritage, under the artistic direction of Janez Dovč. The musicians have focused on developing a counterpoint between the most distinctive elements of different musical traditions and styles. Slovene folk songs are elegiac remnants of ancient times conveying the diversity of Slovenia's unique regions and such as these modernized versions are the perfect introduction to the country for 21st century visitors.
