Druga godba, its juicy name could be translated and written as "that other muzik", was the first festival in the former Yugoslavia to introduce popular musics and styles from the Third World, including reggae and various styles of African music. Gradually also other genres of ethnic music from both European and non-European cultural surroundings were included. Thus the festival was a pioneer in the region in presenting representatives of African, Arab, Latino popular music, even before the actual European "boom" of so-called "world music". The legendary WOMAD festival developed simultaneously, and during the 1980s both festivals cooperated creatively. | Druga godba, its juicy name could be translated and written as "that other muzik", was the first festival in the former Yugoslavia to introduce popular musics and styles from the Third World, including reggae and various styles of African music.

History
At the outset its programme was primarily concerned with different kinds of "otherness in music": alternative rock, "rock in opposition", adventurous new jazz, improvised music and experimental music, as well as rediscovered Slovene folk music. In the 1990s, when Slovene concerts and festivals became wider in scope, primarily in the field of rock and jazz, the programme of the Druga godba Festival focused on "world music" and ethno music, with other genres remaining present but not as wide in their scope. Besides its basic programme, Druga godba Festival has offered various accompanying events, including street animations and concerts, music workshops, events for children, exhibitions, film screenings and lectures.
Since its inception Druga godba Festival has developed into one of the most significant European festivals of its type, establishing collaborations with many other important festivals and becoming a member of the international European Forum of Worldwide Music Festivals (EFWMF). It cooperates regularly with other international organisations, cultural centres and embassies in devising its programmes and art exchange activities. Venues traditionally include Ljubljana's open air stage at Križanke, the Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre, and Metelkova mesto Autonomous Cultural Zone.
