Celinka is a sort of a musical cooperative, as it functions as a platform for various artistic, commercial and organisational endeavours by a diverse set of artists. Set up and still led - as a moving force and an artistic director - by the accordionist Janez Dovč, it was established in 2006.

Its fields of activity encompass musical publishing (sometimes led under the name Celinka Records), promoting musicians, setting up musical projects (Sounds of Slovenia), staging musical happenings (GodiBodi Festival), leading a music studio, producing music for adds and organising events for quite a diverse set of clients.


Celinka Records

They have released about 70 albums ranging from jazz and ethno to chanson and pop, with many (if not most) of them hanging somewhere in between these coordinates. A quality and also accessible sound is their prime publishing policy in an otherwise very eclectic musical range.

Some of the artists they've published are Vasko Atanasovski Trio, Neomi, Fake Orchestra, Uršula Ramoveš in Fantje z Jazbecove grape, Brencl Banda, Katice, Bilbi, Robert Jukič, Papir, Katarchestra, Jararaja, Aritmija and a good number of others.

Sounds of Slovenia

Sounds of Slovenia is a multimedia project with a focus on Slovene traditional folklore and music. Its core component is a group consisting of a little more than 30 musicians. All of them are established artists and most of them already have a history of their own adaptations of traditional musical material, with which this collective is also dealing in its own contemporary way. The musicians are accompanied by a VJ and a crew of technicians who make this project a unique audiovisual performance. Alongside this ambitious set up, there is also the much smaller Sounds of Slovenia Acoustic Trio, which consists of Janez Dovč on accordion, Boštjan Gombač on wind instruments and Goran Krmac on tuba.

In the end of 2013, Sounds of Slovenia (the big band version) has published an album called CEL ČES'N [The whole garlic], which is available only through the internet download. From there, one can get it by using a code that is sold in a package with a bunch of garlic cloves that were grown by the participating artists. As a sort of an overarching concept is the call for a better food self-supply in Slovenia.

Besides the both bands, Sounds of Slovenia project also encompasses publishing albums of adapted traditional and also truly vernacular Slovene music. Till now, 8 albums have been released and most of them also feature booklets that further elaborate the ethnomusicological work and theory involved. Also in this vein, in 2007 there was an exhibition in SEM titled Sounds of Slovenia: from folk musicians to the avseniks.

Events

Celinka has also been, ususally under The Sounds of Slovenia project, promoting Slovene culture abroad by various events, performances and promotional videos. They are also "specialized in production of custom events that combine show, music, videos, and performances, based on Slovene sounds, tradition, music, language, landscape, people".
