Where? Kamfest Festival, Kamnik

 

Godalkanje was created right on Kamfest Festival in 2010. After that, violin groups toured in Kamnik again in 2014 and 2020. In all these years, over a hundred young musicians of all ages joined the event, and the repertoire of some has grown into hundreds of traditional tunes from different regions. Sharing music with the audience has always been the main motto of Bojan Cvetrežnik, the founder of Godalkanje. Thus, at this year’s festival, a real acoustic exhibition of musical journeys will take place. It will take you to the worlds of traditional violin sounds of various European regions. The main square in Kamnik will be the spot where we can sit and travel away with the melodies carried by the violin orchestra from seven countries.

Leave your expectations before the checkpoint, otherwise they will be confiscated!

Concerts and music exhibitions ‘Fiddle Gang Jam’ were prepared by international curators who are also mentors of Godalkanje at the ‘Balkan Fiddle Gate‘ seminar, which run in parallel with the Kamfest festival in the Mekinje Monastery.

The events are co-produced by the Kamfest Festival and the Society for ONE Music, and co-financed by the City of Ljubljana.

On Fridays, we invite you to unique music events co-created by children and teachers of Godalkanje. Besides violins, we occasionally hear double bass, plucked string instruments, accordion, voice … The tunes from different regions compete with each other, and listeners vote for the winning song. Teams from more than 15 European and American countries will compete whose songs you declare the winners. Sometimes jazz and classical teams also compete. Come, enjoy the acoustic music of violin orchestra, dance, clap or swing to the beat on the swings and vote for the tune you like best! Maybe it will win… Spider Inke will take care of the nice weather – in case of rain, complain to him, while the music will play inside the playroom.

The teams consist of: Namuznjeni Godalkarji, Specialni Godalkarji, Fiddle Gang

Coaches: Bojan Cvetrežnik, Barja Drnovšek

Godalkanje is an educational sandbox in the field of various violin styles of playing the violin under the direction of Bojan Cvetrežnik and Barja Drnovšek. In Slovenia, which is in the anteroom of the Balkans and Western Europe, the phenomenon of performing violin expressions from different regions has emerged – from Bulgaria and Serbia to Sweden, France, Ireland … Instead of exaggerated arrangements, you will hear the primal energy of European music enriched with rock’n’roll attitude. You will hear the band Slovenian Fiddle Gang, which took the breath away of audiences in Luxembourg, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Serbia, Germany and of course in Slovenia in the last two years before the epidemic. It consists of teenagers who have dedicated their lifestyle to music. The youngest ones will also perform at the concert – Namuznjeni Godalkarji. A feast for the ears and the heart!

The event is co-financed by the City of Ljubljana.
