Knowing Slovenia

[Urko]

I was thinking the same thing. Polka is surprisingly popular in many countries, so why not make more money!
I do not know any other of their songs since it's a brand new band.
But since you seem interested I'll keep you informed when their CD comes out :p

O god please nooo, not another cd from Atomik .

You should listen to AVSENIK band. Now this is real POLKA for you!!!1

Slomo, you may not realize it, but San Antonio (And due south of town) has an awful lot of polka music. The area where my wife is from has a lot of Bohemian influence (Czech/Pole/Slavic/German). Matter of fact, my wife's Grandmother has such a heavy Czech accent I can hardly understand her. And years ago when those peoples settled the areas, the Mexicans who also lived in the area adopted the accordian and polka style of music and "conjunto" and "ranchero" types of music that evolved from that pairing is still very popular today.

Sincerely,

Cliff Claven

I know that polka is quite popular in the states (I vaguely remember a Slovenian musician making it big in the US with his polka music, I think they even called him "Polka King" or something similar) but I did not know that it's popular in SA or even any parts of Texas.

Please do! It's worth buying instead of downloading!

I bet they do make an English version and I bet it would become a big hit because it's so cheesy. Kinda like that stupid Barbie song by Aqua.

The lead singer, who is also the guy that created this band is a client of mine so I'll be sure to mention it to him. Maybe you could become their official US promoter
For the usual 15% that is!

Siddharta is cool, but I've been a Laibach fan for years - and have no plans to change that.

That's THE most popular Slavko Avsenik song. It's a classic of the local folk music and the guy made a fortune with it in Germany and Austria.

There is Domači Mix:Domači Mix

Also:Greva v katrco ( Ptujskih 5)

Weird Al Yankovic?

Did you tell him how much your daughter loves his music?

No I don't think it was Weird Al (I liked him - at least at the beginning).
No I haven't since I haven't spoken to him for a while, but I'll be sure to give him a piece of my mind at the first opportunity I get

Now I can't stop thinking about who the polka guy was I hate when that happens! I have to go and see if Google can help.

[Slomo]

Google rules!

Here he is Frank Yankovic - Polka King

[Shelly]

[Slomo]

I'm sorry I have no idea (my interest in Polka is quite recent - like the beginning of this thread)

But his CD is available at Amazon (then again what isn't)

slovenia is awesome...very beautiful and tons of hot women. it is extremely small and they have tons of hot women... they eat horse there too and it is very good and they have tons of hot women.

[Marcus Bryant]

I left my former homeland of Slovenia because of the polka and the horse eating.
