“Majave breze” which translates to “Birch in the wind” or “Wobbling birch”, is a rarely played but beautiful instrumental waltz by Franc Šegovc, the founder and accordionist in Slovenian folk/Oberkrainer style ensemble “Štirje Kovači” (Four Blacksmiths). It featured in their 1980 album “Luči Slovenj Gradca“.
“Štirje Kovači” are one of Slovenia’s oldest folk music bands and the longest active Slovenian folk band, which has been recognized by Guinness World Records (66 years in 2020). Their songs are very unique, and although many of their oldest songs have become staples in Slovenian folk music repertoire (Kam le čas beži, Rženova Tinka), I’m really fond of their instrumentals, which are very unique compositions by Šegovc, and don’t get enough attention.
