Slovenian singer, poet and performer Nika Prusnik is one of the country’s rising artistic voices, known for her ethereal voice and ritual-like performances. Singing in her native Slovenian, she weaves mythic stories of ancestral memory, love and transformation. In this special collaboration, she joins pianist, composer and improviser Rok Zalokar, a distinctive figure in Slovenia’s contemporary jazz scene. Together, voice and piano create an intimate dialogue where composed songs and improvisation meet — a haunting sound that feels both ancient and new.
