Borghesia

Artist

Formed in Ljubljana in 1982 by former members of the alternative theatre group Theatre FV-112/15, Borghesia is a Slovenian electronic and rock music group. Until the late 1980s Borghesia pursued the path of a multimedia concept collective, founded on the idea of giving prominence to video as a medium equal to sound. The collective disbanded around 1995 and was reanimated in 2009 with a compilation CD comprising tracks from their previous albums. The album And Man Created God, released in 2014 by the American label Metropolis Records, marked the resurrection of Borghesia as a septet with a new, rock-infused sound. Proti kapitulaciji, an album featuring musical settings of poems by modernist poet Srečko Kosovel, came out in 2018.
