ZAJTRK (SI)
Zajtrk is a Slovenian singer-songwriter ethno-chanson duo dedicated to crafting witty, socially critical lyrics in the Slovenian language. The core members are Laura Krajnc (violin, vocals, tambourine) and Sven Horvat (guitar, vocals), with occasional appearances by Matija Solce (accordion, vocals) and Neža Pavlovič (double bass).
Zajtrk delights in fairy tales, stories, funny anecdotes, theatre, and other delightful whims, all of which weave into their musical creations. Their performances are always laced with a touch of theatrical flair.
Musically, Zajtrk blends folk and ethno sounds with punk chanson, cabaret, jazz, blues, and pop to shape a distinctive, alternative singer-songwriter style. The band is committed to preserving the Slovenian language in their lyrics, maintaining a spirit of social critique and playfulness, upholding artistic autonomy, spreading good humor, and incorporating folk elements into their music. Their songs explore the human experience—its comedic, rebellious, confused, tragic, not-so-happy, and happy sides.

Zajtrk je kantavtorska etno-šansonska zasedba, zavezana k besedilom v slovenščini z duhovitim družbeno kritičnim in nagajivim pristopom k ustvarjalnosti. Zasedbo sestavljata Laura Krajnc (violina, vokal, tamburinček) in Sven Horvat (kitara, vokal), v razširjeni zasedbi pa se jima občasno pridružita še Matija Solce (harmonika, vokal) in Neža Pavlovič (kontrabas).
Zajtrk je ljubitelj pravljic, zgodb, pripovedk, smešnih anekdot, teatra in ostalih hudih muh, zato se vse to prepleta z glasbenim ustvarjanjem zasedbe, nastopi pa so venomer začinjeni s kancem teatralnosti.
Skladbe zasedbe Zajtrk prepletajo folk in etno glasbo s punk šansonom, kabarejem, jazzom, bluesom in popom v trd, alternativni kantavtorski izraz. Zasedba si prizadeva predvsem za ohranjanje slovenskega jezika v besedilih, ohranjanje družbene kritičnosti in hudomušnosti, avtonomnosti ustvarjanja, dobrega humorja ter za vnašanje ljudskega v glasbo, besedila skladb pa odsevajo predvsem zanimanje za človeka ter za njegovo in njeno komično, uporniško, zmedeno, tragično, ne srečno in srečno življenje.
