Primož Vidovič

Artist

Primož Vidovič is a chansonnier and philosopher who holds up a distorted mirror to modernity in witty satires, poignant ballads and vivid narratives. Through thought-provoking, even provocative lyrics, he reminds us of the tragicomic nature of human existence and collects stories of people trapped in a contradictory world with noble humour and a wonderful world-pain. It brings together music from different parts of the world, in a jazz eclecticism, but with a classical tradition, seeking the new in the old and dusty. In addition to his original music, he is also active as an interpreter of jazz, Slovenian and world evergreen songs.
