Tales by the Fireplace: Lukavi Luka and Šmentane muhe

The mischievous group is geographically connected by two karst fields of Žiri and Logatec. Just as wild, green and authentic nature is in these places, so are the members of this happy group, and this is exactly what is reflected in their stories and music.

The stories they have in their backpacks are mostly old folk tales from Notranjska, which they inherited from their grandparents. They talk about the creation of the world, the three sister rivers, about St. Peter and Jesus, when they were walking around the world, about why the stupid farmer has the fattest potato, about the soldier Pust, King Matjaž and other sayings and things.

In addition to telling stories, the band sings and plays old songs, and they also cover some more modern songs in the old way. Their goal is to recreate the old-fashioned way of performing songs, from the times before the accordion arrived in our region.

The event is organized in cooperation with Grable Cultural Society.
