🎸 Drietomanka

About

Drietomanka is a Slovak brass band from the village of Drietoma near Trenčín, with roots going back to 1866 - making it one of the oldest wind ensembles in Slovakia. The musicians perform in traditional folk costumes of the Trenčín region, playing Slovak folk songs in their own arrangements alongside Moravian, Czech and dance pieces. The band won the mayor's prize for best foreign orchestra at the international Zlatá křídlovka competition in Hodonín, and has toured across much of Europe.
