Vidovič & Kos

Primož Vidovič & Andrej Kos sta trubadurja našega časa. V duhovitih šansonih, za katere sta prejela številne kantavtorske nagrade, se rogata človekovim napakam, modrujeta o družbenih zablodah in pripovedujeta o tragikomičnih prigodah malih in velikih življenj.

Prvi, kantavtor in filozof, in drugi, akademsko izobraženi harmonikar, s kabarejsko teatralnostjo oživita satire, zabeljene s hudomušnimi dovtipi in aluzijami, humor pa obtežita s pretresljivimi baladami. Štorije slonijo na razgibani glasbi, v kateri se ljudski melosi poigravajo s klasično tradicijo. Družbo jim delajo priredbe znanih popevk in napevov ter uglasbitve verzov naših pesnikov, od Prešerna do Kajuha.

Za svoje delo sta dobila več nagrad. Vidovič je na domačem Kantfestu za svoje šansone prejel zlato kanto, medtem ko sta skupaj v Novem Sadu dosegla drugo mesto mednarodnega kantavtorskega festivala TaktFest in zmagala na natečajih Freešn, Glasbeni maraton Stična ter Hit betona. Nastopata na različnih kulturnih prireditvah in festivalih, od Dnevov poezije in vina do Kavč festivala. V letu 2023 načrtujeta izid debitantskega albuma.

Njune pesmi dišijo po sarajevskih kafanah in dublinskih pivnicah, romajo od Mediterana tja do Severnega morja, njihove korenine pa segajo v kleno rodno grudo doline Šentflorjanske. Domoljubno svetovljanska, ruralno urbana, pobožno profana godeta po svetu ta igrca enaindvajsetega stoletja in iščeta renesanso v našem srednjem veku.

Incisive, critical, ironical, mocking,
but technically well-rehearsed duo
that took over the audience and jury with their thoughtful lyrics.
Their creations have an enormous potential for numerous Slovene stages.
