Katice sing the traditional songs of all the Slovene regions in a highly original manner; they travel from the melancholic songs of the Panonic plain to the extraordinary harmonies of the Rezija region, taking a stroll through the diverse seasons and ages of life, from joy at birth past a carefree childhood, adolescent puns and marriage, all the way towards death. Their rich vocal repertoire is seasoned by the sounds of a whistle and an earthenware pot-bass. They are also accompanied by a traditional musician and they even dance to their songs. | Katice sing the traditional songs of all the Slovene regions in a highly original manner; they travel from the melancholic songs of the Panonic plain to the extraordinary harmonies of the Rezija region, taking a stroll through the diverse seasons and ages of life, from joy at birth past a carefree childhood, adolescent puns and marriage, all the way towards death.
