Their widespread reputation has been sealed by appearances at festivals in Hungary, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Russia and Slovenia. In October 2012, the band embarked on a highly successful tour of Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, playing to Slovenian immigrants. Orlek are also noted for their upbeat club gigs, most notably the 2002 appearance at the legendary CBGB Club in New York.
