Vlado Kreslin (guitar, vocals)
For nearly two decades, Vlado Kreslin has been in the centre of the Slovenian popular music scene, and over the past few years he has surely reached the height of his creativity and popularity.
He began as a singer in a number of rock groups, gradually breaking through to the foreground as the author of numerous unforgettable songs. At the same time he was beginning to go back more and more to his own roots and draw upon the creative energy of the musical heritage of his home region of Prekmurje. Through his appearances with Beltinška banda – a legendary group of folk singers and musicians from Prekmurje – Kreslin enriched his repertoire with folk songs of the region.
In the meantime Vlado Kreslin has brought together a number of younger musicians and created the group Mali bogovi. With them he plays his compositions in more mainstream rock arrangements, although the folk influences always remain apparent.
