BOGDANA HERMAN sings without musical accompaniment mainly those traditional Slovene songs which exist in published or unpublished note transcriptions and have been forgotten by Slovenes. She started developing the art of personal vocal rendering, far beyond the limits of traditional singing, on the initiative of dr. Zmaga Kumer some twenty years ago, what was a logical continuation of her Slavic language studies, of her protest song singing in the sixties and of her work in the outstanding group Salamander, formed also by Lado Jakša. Tomaž Pengov, Jerko Novak, Milan Dekleva and other subtle connoiseurs of Slovene language, folk lore and of unlimited possibilities of personal interpretation of background music. Bogdana Herman can sing about 100 songs from all the Slovene regions and also the ones of the Slovenes living in Austria, Italy and Hungary. She especially enjoys rendering love and narrative songs, in which she seeks the subdued parallels of European lore and the history of the Earth.  Fotografija: Marko Turk
She has participated in a number of radio and TV programmes in Slovenia and abroad. She has also done two radio/TV series on musical folk lore. She has presented traditional Slovene songs at more than 200 concerts in Slovene schools, libraries, castles and churches and also abroad in 15 countries, travelling as far as Argentina, Iceland, Poland and Greece. She performed at the following festivals: Druga godba 96, Okarina, Bled, several appearances, TV festival Euromusica 97, Trondheim Norway, 20. EBU Folk Contemporary Festival 98 Portorož. Discography:
