BOJAN DROBEŽ: Acoustic guitar, composer 
Composer and guitarist Bojan Drobež was born in Ljubljana in 1954. First performing as a guitarist and singer for a number of years, Drobež subsequently turned to composing for and playing the acoustic guitar. Although he never made a professional career in it, he has remained active as a guitarist (with varying degrees of intensity) to this day. His public performances are few and far between. He made his first recordings for Radio Študent in the early 1970s. These were followed through the 1970s by a few compositions recorded (in various line-ups, but mostly with his band Orehek) for the Radio and television network RTV Ljubljana, for which he also made the music for the film Deček z miškami (Boy with Mice), written by Željko Kozinc and directed by Marjan Ciglič. In 1981, RTB in Belgrade released his album Bojan Drobež (LP), which is considered the first (and for many years the only) fingerpicking record in the former Yugoslavia. It was followed by two other instrumental albums: Krog na vodi/Ripple (RTB, 1986, LP) and Odprto morje /Open Sea (Sraka, Novo mesto, 1993, CD).
