“V pustnih dneh” (Slovenian for “On Carnival Days”), also known as Faschingspolka (German for “Carnival Polka”) – was originally performed by Avsenik’s trio in the 1950s and later recorded by Avsenik’s quintet in the 1960s. Like many Avsenik polkas, it has since become a staple in Alpine folk music, frequently played by bands across Slovenia, Northern Croatia, Northern Italy, Austria, and Bavaria.
Alex Pellizotti (baritone) and Daniel Clama (guitar) hail from Paularo, a town in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Italy, nestled between the sea and the mountains of Austria and Slovenia. They kindly offered to collaborate with me on this Avsenik polka from Slovenia as a tribute to Alex’s friend and musical partner, Daniele, who sadly passed away. Both Alex and Daniel are accomplished musicians in the Oberkrainer style of Alpine folk music, having performed with various bands across Northern Italy and Austria.
