Wat is het?

Slovenia has a rich tradition of folk singing and dancing. Choirs are everywhere - small villages all have one - and people still dance in big circles with accordion music at festivals.

Vertel me meer

Slovenia has more registered choirs per person than almost anywhere else in Europe.

Traditional folk music uses the accordion (a small squeezebox), the 'frajtonarica', and the 'tamburica' - a small string instrument.

The famous Avsenik brothers wrote Slovenian polka music that has been played at weddings around the world.
