DJ: Drago Vovk

Radio Sraka

Drago Vovk

Drago Vovk is experienced in music: as an author of music programmes and a DJ, worked at Radio Student and for many years at Radio Slovenia and in 1993 founded his own Radio Sraka to refresh the work with his recording studio and record company Sraka with something new. Started writing about music in 1972 and wrote for Dzuboks (Serbia), Start (Croatia), Folk News (England) and many papers in Slovenia. In recent years he writes about music and tourism for the new Slovenian weekly Reporter. His popular weekly programme on radio Slovenia was named "World Music" a few years before the international term "World music" was invented. Radio Sraka plays mostly Slovene folk and pop music but on Monday evenings (from 8 to 12 p. m.) it's four hours with world and ethno music, folk, jazz, blues, country etc. There is music from the WMCE, Top 13 Tex-mex fiesta, interviews etc. His son Blaz is doing more and more radio work, has good taste and feeling for music so they both create the program with all kinds of music from the world (and Slovenia).

He visited many music festivals around the globe. He was also a promoter and did Slovenian tours for many world famous artists. Last tour he organised in Slovenia was for Septeto Santiaguero, a famous band from Santiago de Cuba, in August 2006. In recent times he is doing a research about "ways and subways of the diatonic accordion from Germany in 1822 to Slovenia, Texas, Mexico, Canada...". He speaks several languages and is also a wine expert, an official degustator with a licence from the Ministry of agriculture in Slovenia.
