about
Sedmina ("the seventh" in English) was a Slovenian progressive folk ensemble formed in 1977 in Ljubljana by singer-songwriter Veno Dolenc and his wife Melita, with Lado Jaksa (clarinet, piano, flute), Edi Stefancic (acoustic guitar) and Bozidar Ogorevc (violin, viola). After the release of two albums, the duo broke up. Each began their solo careers, with Dolenc recording with and his new wife, Klarisa Jovanović in the late 1980s, Sedmina used traditional instruments and gave an alternative interpretation of folk songs. Being also a fine artist, Dolenc created interesting surrealist and dreamlike artwork of their album covers. After two albums, Veno and Melita divorced so the band split apart. They both led solo careers, but Dolenc also formed a group DUMA with singer Klarisa Jovanovic in the late 1980s, whereof the new Sedmina grew out, releasing three more albums in the 1990s. The final line-up included Mitja Perko (guitar), Slavko Meglic (double bass), Jean-Pierre Babatunde (percussion) and many guest musicians. The first two albums "Sedmina" and "II dejanje" feature psychedelic/acid ethno and prog folk acoustic music with male/female vocals. They both were reissued by Italian label Mellotron in 1996.
