The brothers Slavko and Vilko Avsenik were born in Begunje in the Gorenjska Region of Northern Slovenia, where they developed the folk pop music and became a trademark of the branch. They solidified the style of the so-called Oberkrainer music as early as in the 1950s, but today they are still one of the most influential and popular polka and waltz music groups in the world. The Avsenik brothers have received numerous folk music awards in Slovenia and Austria and have been awarded the title of Polka Kings of the World in the USA. They have 31 gold, one platinum and one diamond record to their credit, plus the German record award. The sales figures and a worldwide public response to their work are huge and the Avsenik Ensemble has strongly influenced the folk music scene in Slovenia, Austria and Germany. Their genre of music, accompanied by accordion, is popular at Slovene marriages, among older generations of Slovenes and also amongst expatriates and their descendants in the USA.
