about

Selivke (Migratory Birds in English) is a collection of songs about the female gender in all its strength and vulnerability. “Each song tells a tale about women set in different situations and circumstances, using diverse musical ideas. The music is essentially rooted in Slovenian folk forms but weaves all sorts of other music influences.” (Cooney) The audience and critics in Slovenia and abroad have praised the album.

CD SELIVKE (MIGRATORY BIRDS – translation of the CD booklet & stories behind songs)

“Migratory birds travel through a particular area, but do not nest or spend winter there”. They travel in a flock, but each on its own. They fly towards the same destination – towards life and sometimes towards death. The road towards one or the other is equally long.

Migratory birds are women from “here and now” and from “there and then”. From the times that might be long gone but we still carry them within ourselves. Their stories are a part of a withheld, repressed or forgotten history and present that has been denied and swept under the carpet, painful but also redeeming. Without them we would not be here. Without them you and I would not be here. Without them these songs would not be here.

Migratory Birds CD is my tribute to female power, courage, wisdom and spirit.

And to men who love them because of this.
