This waltz titled “Srečno otroštvo” means “Happy childhood” and was written by Robert Smolnikar, a highly regarded Slovenian accordionist who performed in one of Slovenia’s highest calibre Slovenian folk-pop music and Oberkrainer style ensembles called Štajerskih 7 (which means Styrian 7, relating to the region of Slovenian Styria, not to be mistaken with the bordering Austrian region of Styria). Robert Smolnikar has composed many terrific songs including a beautiful waltz “Zapri oči” with a musette influenced accordion solo in the second part, which is so lovely to listen to, but very difficult to play. Smolnikar currently plays in his own trio, Robert Smolnikar Trio, yet his songs from his Štajerskih […]

Burnik was the accordion player in Alpski Kvintet (Alpenoberkrainer) from Slovenia throughout the 1970s, who later performed with other Austrian ensembles including Heimatlandecho. Dovžan has released many albums with his own ensemble, Ansambel Mihe Dovžana, as well as collaborated across different styles and groups including with Lojze Slak, Jože Burnik, and performed the zither on the soundtrack of Slovenia’s most popular film, Cvetje v jeseni. Interestingly, before Burnik joined Alpski Kvintet, Burnik and Dovžan played

“Tečejo, tečejo nitke” or “Flowing, flowing are threads of life” is a beautiful waltz by Marija Ahačič Pollak which sings of life being short, and threads of life (just like threads of fabric) are easy to tear, therefore we must try to experience and spread as much joy as possible.
