Slovenian song festival (In Slovene: Slovenska popevka) was a Slovenian music festival dedicated to a music genre known as Slovenian song (Slovene: popevka) that was most popular during the 1960s and 1970s and had a similarly high standing in Slovene culture as did the Sanremo Music Festival in Italian culture.[1] It began in 1962 and ended in 1983, with an attempt at its revival in 1998.
History
The festival in 1962 was organized at the town of Bled,[2] and in 1964 moved to Slovenia's capital city Ljubljana.
