Folk&Bass Orchestra

The **Folk&Bass Orchestra** is a unique musical project that fuses traditional Slovak folk music with modern genres like Drum and Bass, Nu Jazz, and pop. Founded in 2013, the group combines live performances on folk instruments such as bagpipes and folk flutes with electronic elements, synthesizers, and a band rhythm section consisting of bass guitar and drums. This fusion creates a distinctive sound that they term "folk & bass." The orchestra incorporates preloaded loops and samples into their performances, blending the traditional with the contemporary. Their work includes albums like *Folk&Bass Orchestra, Vol. 1*, which features tracks like "Zavri si ho" and "Vtáčia svadba," showcasing their eclectic style.

The Folk&Bass Orchestra's innovative approach has attracted attention for its fresh take on folk music. By blending the rich heritage of Slovak folk with modern electronic elements, the group appeals to a diverse audience interested in both traditional and contemporary sounds. While the exact members or specific collaborations outside of their music are not well-documented, their music is available through platforms like Bandcamp and Instagram, where fans can support their continued creative work by purchasing their music and merchandise.
