Robert Jukič, Women

Robert Jukič is presenting his double album Women featuring 13 female vocalists from Slovenia and Croatia. The album has been released by ZKP RTV Slovenia in October. This is a comprehensive and ambitious musical project with thirteen songs, connecting folk music frames from different cultures in its own original style and approaching topics such as love, relationships, loss and hope. Jukič’s tenth album is a tribute to a woman, her strength, dedication, perseverance. Women are rarely given a word to speak although they speak about their everyday life. The stories are told by convincing interpreters who are aware of the importance of lyrics in vocal-instrumental forms of music. Stories need a voice and a face, someone who breathes life into them. Women are alive and are interpreted by Jadranka Juras, Mia Žnidarič, Nina Strnad, Nina Vodopivec, Tamara Obrovac, Anika Horvat, Maya, Tjaša Fabjančič, Gordana Hleb, Katja Šulc, Aphra Tesla, Astrid Kuljanić and Ana Bezjak. At the concert in Drama there will be seven female soloists interpreting the stories: Ana Bezjak, Katja Šulc, Gordana Hleb, Mia Žnidarič, Nina Strnad, Nina Vodopivec in Tjaša Fabjančič.
