The vocal group Perpetuum Jazzile is comprised of both female and male singers, who perform songs without any instrumental background and so use various techniques including vocal percussion that cover all elements in the music. The group, conducted by renowned Peder Karlsson mostly performs well known pop songs as well as Slovene folk music and (country music) gospel songs which are arranged in different musical genres such as jazz, bossa nova, funk and swing.
