Počeni Škafi are a street swing band from Ljubljana. They draw their inspiration from traditional jazz music, which they play in a ‘non-museum’, lively and unique style. Some of their lyrics are in Slovene, whereby their original music often has a chanson-like flair. They are known for their long concerts, often extending beyond 3 hours, and their favourite venues are everywhere – be it the street, concert or dance halls. They are a perfect mix of total opposites: the old and the modern, intimate and lascivious, elegant and explosive, poetic and exciting. But first and foremost, they smell of nothing but love.
The album Stroj za sušenje solz (‘Tear-Drying Machine’) is the band’s first LP, featuring nine original songs that are both touching and funny and never oblivious to the fact how different love and happiness truly are. The amazing singing chops of vocalist Marjeta Prudič will take you into a world filled with emotions and longing, dance, tears, and happiness, a world you won’t want to leave and a world you definitely won’t leave without it leaving a mark.
