GUGUTKE (SI)
The Gugutke Quintet focuses on combining traditional music from Slovenia, the Balkan Peninsula and Turkey with jazz and experimental music.
The band wishes to spread the sound of a heritage and tradition that is dying out in the modern world, just like a bird species, the Turkish dove ("Gugutke" in Serbo-Croatian, archaic Slovenian), which lives in the Balkan Peninsula and is in danger of becoming extinct. In this way, the band's main motif (which is sometimes heard in the improvisational parts) is strongly linked to birds, as brothers Nejc and Luka are also passionate ornithologists.
