Uluru

This critical interpretation of traditional Slovenian music, including Kaj Ti Je Deklica, Dekle Je Po
Vodo Šlo, Bose Nožice, Žabja Svatba, Pčejlica and Lepa Vida, rendered through an aboriginal instrument,
presents »folk« in a new set of clothes. Folksongs, reborn with the help of the didgeridoo, percussion,
violin, accordion, electric guitar and cello, together with the vocals of this seven-member group
- all but one of whom are female - are relived as an experimental-meditative complex of melodies and
sounds interwoven with strong vocals. Uluru provide multi-instrumental approach and develop familiar
melodies into an almost mantra-like rhythmic jamming, which evolves and re-evolves through improvisation.
Thus over and over again this ensemble creates innovative sonorous associations, and, with each
new performance, composes anew. Through their new material, they clearly draw attention to - and
address - the traditional roles of women; they also reflect on social significance, and simultaneously
construct collective creativity as well as radiate femininity.

Organized by: City of Women; In collaboration with: KUD France Prešeren
