Led by Dejan Tamše, of the SToP Slovene Percussion Project, the festival takes place at the Dom II. slovenskega tabora Žalec. An additional venue is also the Savinov likovni salon, where post-festival exhibitions sometimes take place.
Programme
The festival has hosted artists from Taiwan, Brazil, the United States, Mexico and numerous European countries. Some of the guests in recent years were Funky Currywurst Brothers (AT, DK), Percussive (BE), Odaiko (ES), Groovetrotters (DE, AT), Quatuor Beat (FR), Sudar Percussion (HR), Percossa (NL) and The Strokes (HU).
Furthermore, the festival is sometimes amongst the initiators for projects like the Faces and Places, which featured the SToP Slovene Percussion Project, the Studio Percussion Graz (AT) and guest musicians who came to Europe as refugees or migrants.
