Jernej Zoran and Ministrstvo resnice & Fed Horses
The festival Godibodi has become a synonym for high-quality Slovenian original and ethno music, as well as for a comprehensive concert experience presenting a series of fresh music projects. It gets underway in the last week of May in the summer garden of Hostel Celica and features concerts by Jernej Zoran in Ministrstvo resnice, Fed Horses, Edna, Ethnotrip with guests, Adam Klemm Banda, and Klemen Kotar & Dušni pastirji. The festival concludes in the courtyard of the Ljubljana Castle with the project Sounds of Slovenia under the baton of renowned Slovenian accordionist and composer Janez Dovč, bringing together more than twenty musicians.
Dolenjska guitarist and songwriter Jernej Zoran offers an exceptional musical experience, with a mix of rock, pop and blues. Virtuoso guitar playing, a great singer and a stunning rhythm section are the hallmarks of the band known as JERNEJ ZORAN & MINISTRSTVO RESNICE (Jernej Zoran and the Ministry of Truth). It is a group of experienced musicians who have paid their dues with performers such as Dan D, Gušti, DMP, Tinkara Kovač and others. The concert will include original songs from Jernej’s four solo albums (a number of singles are played regularly on radio stations from Primorski Val to Murski Val and Val 202), a selection of songs written and recorded with Jernej’s former band Društvom mrtvih pesnikov (DMP), as well as some instrumental guitar treats.
Fed Horses is a Slovenian alternative country group that has become very popular in Slovenian ears, venues and radio stations with its folk melodic sensibility, its interesting approach to country music and its radio-polished sound. At their concerts, the musicians play original songs that, in a unique way, flirt with country music, enriched by the influences of American, indie and pop music, thus faithfully approaching models from the other side of the puddle. Despite these influences, the group retains its autochthonous expression. In recent years, they have focused on the episodic but perfected production of singles, while in 2018 the song “Sinner” from the eponymous EP became the second most frequently played song on the radio station Val 202. After their appearance at Izštekanih 25 in Kino Šiška, Fed Horses continue their journey in the Slovenian language, as well.
