Sankofa Choir

Artist

The choir Sankofa has been active since 2009. The choir unites singers of African descent with their Slovenian and international counterparts in the celebration of the African choral tradition. ‘Sankofa’” is a metaphorical symbol used by the Akan people of Ghana; it expresses the importance of reaching back to the knowledge gained in the past and connecting it with the present. The choir’s musical output thus features both traditional and modern musical languages

Sašo Avsenik Ensemble

Artist

When Sašo Avsenik and his Ensemble embarked on their musical career in 2009 a new chapter was opened in the music of the Avsenik Brothers. After a hiatus of almost twenty years brothers Slavko and Vilko Avsenik again joined forces to write new compositions and arrange several old ones for the Sašo Avsenik Ensemble. Annually, the ensemble gives up to 170 performances at home and abroad. Challenging the traditional belief that the home of folk-pop is primarily the Alpine Region, the ensemble popularised the genre by appearing in Croatia, The Netherlands and Belgium, and ventured across the Atlantic Ocean to Canada. The ensemble’s résumé includes cruise ship gigs.
