Carmina Slovenika is devoted to stage performances-choral theatre, contemporary music and music written by women composers and repertoire of Southern European music. They incorporate dance, theatrical elements, traditional instruments and tape music into exciting artistic events. In their enthusiastic exploration of the international choral world they have come away with many awards. 'Kraji in casi' begins with Daniel Bell's dramatic 'Spring fjord,' Lojze Lebic's Haiku art piece 'Suita Stirje letni casi' (The Four Seasons, Donald Patriuquin's 'World suite #1,' which combines songs like the beautiful 'Cabbage Tree Hat' from Australia, Finland's lovely 'Taivas on sininen ja valkoinen,' Ireland's lilting 'The Stuttering Lovers,' the Czech folk song 'Ach! Synku Synku,' the African-American spiritual 'Deep River' and Canada's 'I Went to the Market.' Some generally light accompaniment. The recording closes with the traditional Zulu 'Siyahamba' and the spirited traditional Xhosa tune, 'Dubula.' In the center of the extensive liner notes is an exciting double-spread photo of the girls in costume, in concert. 'Kraji' is another winner from Carmina Slovenika, who, under the dynamic direction of Karmina Silec, are making some major waves on the international choir scene!Ê
