Slovakia Today, English Language Current Affairs Programme from Slovak Radio

On the Wednesday show we will rerun the first round of the new RSI competition dedicated to 30 years of Slovakia. In the first round we speak about 30 year old Slovaks. That is also the theme of our upcoming series dedicated to the Peers of the Republic. The first interesting peer of Slovakia that we will speak to is Kristián Dufinec - singer, musician and dancer, originally from the eastern Slovak town of Michalovce. For 10 years he danced in Lúčnica national folk ballet, today he leads the band Iconito, which also draws on folk music. Recently they have released a multi-genre project called the Roots. In a few days, they will perform for the Slovak community in Chicago.
