One of the most enchanting voices of the new wave of Slovenian folk and pop, KiKi is no doubt a project that speaks for itself. Through her theatrically crafted stories, which often sound like hidden confessions coming directly from her soul, KiKi voices out the secrets of domestic folklore and culture as well as her introspective musings. At the beginning of 2023, she released her debut album KRiKi, which she will perform live at MENT with a full band.

Venue
Built in 1961, Kino Šiška is one of the finest examples of modernist architecture. The building was designed by Slovenian architect Božidar Gvardjančič. It is positioned in the centre of a suburban neighbourhood, with the main facade overlooking Celovška Street. In 1962, the City of Ljubljana entrusted the running of the building to Ljubljanski kinematografi – Ljubljana Cinemas. The cinema screened films between 1964 and until the end of the 1980s, when attendance decreased, and the building was only available for various events and lectures. The cinema re-opened in 1994. With the arrival of the Kolosej multiplex in 2001, Kino Šiška and its 725-seat cinema were forced to cease operating for the second time. Since 2009, Kino Šiška has served as a main Slovenian institution specialised in contemporary music concerts and complementing visual and performing arts programmes. Location: Ljubljana

A blend of refined music, incorporating elements ranging from rock, funk, and psychedelia to the occasional heavier riff, is adorned with spontaneous, mostly simple lyrics that carry a humorous touch while still conveying a deeper meaning of the theme being celebrated. With these rich rhythms, every body in the hall sways along, regardless of age or musical preference.
