"The music of Slovenia is closely related to Balkan and Eastern European influences."

Are you kidding me? Slovenian music is drastically different from the music of all other former Yugoslav republics. Slovenian music, in fact, is instead extremely connected to Austrian and German music. Interestingly, the Avseniks heavily influenced all Alpine cultures in the last century.

Actually not. The Slovene folk music and dance have borrowed many elements from other nations of Yugoslavia. It has incorporated the elements of Germanic, Romanic, Ugrofinic and Slavic culture. The Avseniks are just the tip of a much larger musical corpus. --Eleassar ^{my talk} 15:56, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
