Mlada Beltinška banda were established in 1997 with the intention of cultivating and nurturing the tradition of the music of Prekmurje region (in the northeast of Slovenia). The original band consisted of 10 members, but the band later took shape of a quintet with band members aged between 18 and 21. They have toured all over Europe and Slovenia and always attract supporting crowds to their concerts.

About

Mlada Beltinška banda are five-piece playing traditional folk songs from Prekmurje, Bela krajina, Hungary, Russia, and some others songs from individual authors, and is inspired by rhythms and melodies from all over Central, East and Southeast although the band maintains that they are rockers at heart. They know how to approach contemporary music which is for instance evident from their collaboration with Štefan Kovač Marko Banda and other bands.

Mlada beltinška banda have appeared on many television shows and in documentaries and toured extensively in Slovenia and overseas (Germany, Poland, France, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia). They were guests of esteemed Prekmurje native Vlado Kreslin when her performed in Cankarjev dom, Cultural and Congress Centre in 2013. One of their most notable peformances was the one European Parliament. The European Parliament holds an open day in Strasbourg every year at which EU Members States present themselves and this opportunity was given to Slovenia in 2008. In addition to the folklore group Plamen from Škocjan na Dolenjskem, Mlada beltinška banda performed at the event. “It was an honour,” they say modestly. What matters most to them, is quality of the music and a sense of personal fulfilment.
