Laibach is a retro-avant-garde music group from Trbovlje, established in 1980. Probably the most internationally acclaimed Slovene band, Laibach works as a "gesamtkunstwerk", dealing in multidisciplinary art practice and mixing their music with visual and video art, as well as with heavy political (and philosophical) undertones. The band is well known for their subtly crafted cover versions, often used to subvert the original message or intention of the song.
Since the beginning the group was associated and surrounded with controversy (their name being the historic German version of the name for the Slovene capital Ljubljana), provoking strong reactions by political authorities in former Yugoslavia. However, as of the 90s onward the band functions as a well known art institution in Slovenia and abroad.

Running a series of programmes and events that deal with music, visual arts, literature, poetry, film, architecture and so on, the KUD Sestava is an independent cultural producer of a rather wide-ranging profile. The bulk of its activities take place at Celica, a youth hostel establishment inside the Metelkova mesto Autonomous Cultural Zone.
In order to run the hostel's cultural programme, most notably a gallery and a series of weekly music gigs, Sestava collaborates with a number of outside protagonists, among them the KUD Mreža Arts and Culture Association and the Folk Slovenia Cultural Society. Together with the Godibodi Institute it also co-produces the annual Godibodi Festival.
