Bratko Bibič and international music scene
During his time with the legendary group Begnagrad (1975-1976, 1981-1983), Bratko Bibič was already beginning to deconstruct myths regarding the supposed characteristics of people who live in this part of the world (hard working, honest, loyal, etc) and the sweet-sounding beauties of their country through a fresh, witty permutation of rhythms and melodies, dance forms (waltz and polka). The Begnagrad LP album was released in Slovenia in 1982 and re-issued overseas twice (France 1991, Israel 2003). Its first 'unreleased' recorded material for the album from 1978 was released as 'Tastare' (The Oldwones) in 1992.
Since the early 1980s Bratko Bibič has mainly been active in the international music scene, appearing either as a solo artist or in an ensemble at hundreds of concerts in Western Europe, the USA, Canada and India, sharing the stage or taking part in festivals and in various experimental music and multimedia projects. In the late 1980s Bibič joined the international formation Nimal consisting of Tom Cora, Pippin Barnett (USA), J M Rossel and J V Huguenin (Switzerland), which stopped performing in 1991, after releasing four albums and performing live in several concert tours in Europe and Canada. The rest of the 1990s and the beginning of the new millennium found him playing mostly solo, as a member of internationala group Accordeon Tribe or in various ad-hoc experimental projects, such as in a duet with Viennese accordionist Otto Lechner (since 1995). In 1995 Bibič established his group Bratko Bibič and The Madleys with a bunch of Slovene musicias.
In October 2007 Bratko Bibič presented his new musical co-operation Bridko Bebič & Taveseli pradolenjski Švicarji. The cast of Swiss musicians, all top creators in their genre (chamber, classical, jazz, rock and improvised) rediscovered and played music of B B & The Madleys and some of Bibič's yet unperformed compositions, thus proving that folk music can strike completely new roots.
