As the name implies, the BUMfest International Percussion Festival is a rather specialised music festival. Taking place in Žalec and established in 2007, the festival is quite successful and regularly even sold out. Its musical programme presents all sorts of percussion and drumming projects that often feature elements of theatre, dance, humour and sound experimentation. Beside the usual evening concerts, the festival is also comprised of music workshops and matinee performances for schoolchildren,


Led by Dejan Tamše, of the SToP Slovene Percussion Project, the festival more or less takes place at the Dom II. slovenskega tabora Žalec. An additional venue is the Savinov likovni salon, where post-festivals exhibitions sometimes take place.

Programme

The festival has until now invited artists from Taiwan, Brazil, the United States, Mexico and numerous European countries. It is, furthermore, often amongst the initiators for projects like the Faces and Places, which featured the SToP Slovene Percussion Project, the Studio Percussion Graz (AT) and guest musicians who came to Europe as refugees or migrants.

Some of the guests in recent years were Funky Currywurst Brothers (AT, DK), Percussive (BE), Odaiko (ES), Groovetrotters (DE, AT), Quatuor Beat (FR), Sudar Percussion (HR), Percossa (NL) and The Strokes (HU).
