• Concert: KONTRABANT

The group Kontrabant celebrated its 15th anniversary last year, which also brought about a release of its fifth record Dobri geni. The record holds an exquisite SQ quality certificate, an abbreviation which stands for Smuggling Quality. Kontrabant mainly draws its inspiration from Prekmurje, a small area where various cultures melt into an interesting coexistence of Croatian, Hungarian, Roma and Jewish musical practices with a predominant expression of Slovenian musical heritage. The latter gradually moved away from its indigenous Slovenian character due to centuries-long exposure to Hungarian influence, which is exactly what makes it so exceptional. An interesting accordionist Domen Finžgar will perform as a support act.
