Širom (SI)
Širom is a Slovenian trio weaving a unique sonic universe where diverse musical traditions, handcrafted instruments, and limitless imagination converge. Hailing from the regions of Prekmurje, Tolminsko, and Kras, members Iztok Koren, Samo Kutin, and Ana Kravanja perform with more than a dozen instruments, creating richly textured compositions that blend folk-rooted sounds with experimental rock, acoustic minimalism, and improvisation. Their music defies easy classification — earthy and mystical, meditative yet full of momentum, closer to a band than a chamber group, and more rooted in the rawness of the street than in the polish of the urban. Since their debut in 2015, Širom has released a series of critically acclaimed albums on Glitterbeat Records, with their fifth studio album set for release in autumn 2025.
