Orlek is a Slovenian band that has carved a unique space in the music industry with their eclectic blend of sounds, deeply rooted in folk and rock elements. They hail from the former mining town of Zagorje ob Savi, where they formed in 1992. The band is renowned for their inclination to infuse their music with a regional touch, often integrating the use of wind instruments typical of a miner's band, which adds a distinctive layer to their sound.

Over the years, Orlek has been consistent in releasing music that resonates with their audience, blending humor, regional stories, and social commentary. Their albums, like the lively "Mali Bogovi" and spirited "Živel rokenrol," showcase their unique sound that combines brass elements with rock vibes, earning them a loyal fan base not only in Slovenia but also beyond its borders. Other releases like "Frpruh" and "Unterzug" demonstrate their versatility and their ability to reflect on the environment and heritage that has shaped them. As they continue to entertain and inspire with their music, Orlek stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of fusing traditional folk with contemporary genres.
