Nika Prusnik & bratje Poljanec

“A truly beautiful, lyrically gentle record with simple instrumentation, a foundation of pure fifths and fourths lending the songs an archaic character while at the same time reviving a spirit that has always been here with us, within us.”
Jože Štucin, Odzven 

The magical Slovenian ensemble weaves together the ethereal voice of Nika Prusnik with the musical sensibilities of the three Poljanec brothers – Nejc on accordion, Jon on double bass, and Luka on percussion. Their music, a form of mythical poetic folk, is deeply rooted in nature and archetypal imagery, enriched by polyphonic singing inspired by Slovenian traditional songs. Their pieces speak of the cycles of life and death, of kinship with the wilderness, and of the hidden layers of existence. Their debut album Ob reki mmmm, a portal to a secret forest chapel, was released in May 2025 on ZKP RTV Slovenija.
