About
Mlada Beltinška banda are five-piece playing traditional folk songs from Prekmurje and Bela krajina regions in Slovenia, Hungary, Russia, and some others songs from individual authors, and is inspired by rhythms and melodies from all over Central, East and Southeast of Europe although the band maintains that they are rockers at heart. They are skillful at approaching contemporary music as well which is evident from their collaboration with Štefan Kovač Marko Banda and their contribution to "Voda v očeh" (Eyes Full of Water), a film made by Jože Baša.
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 organized by the European Parliament. The European Parliament holds an open day in Strasbourg every year at which EU member states present themselves. 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,” the band members said modestly. What matters most to them, is quality of the music and a sense of personal fulfillment. In 2009, Mlada Beltinška banda also performed (together with Automassage, Tsigoti, Stekli psi and Lollobrigida) as a part of God Bless This Mess festival held at Klub Menza pri koritu.
They also have good memories of their performance at the Okarina Ethno Festival which has a longstanding tradition. It is organised by the Bled Cultural Institute. In 2013, members of Mlada Beltinška banda played at the festival, delivering an excellent performance. All band members are very attached to Prekmurje region which plays a vital part in their music as well although they are open to many different musical inspirations. Their performances may not be very numerous and they do not focus on advertising their own events; instead they are focused on the quality of their music and providing a treat for their listeners.
