This paper deals with the musical phenomenon of the so-called Slovenian trubači, musical groups that have flourished on the Slovenian music scene since 2000. In their musical style, repertoire and on performative level they refer to mainly to the Serbian trumpet ensembles. The musicians have established their own performance spaces and ways of presenting themselves in Slovenia. This article presents a brief overview of the activities of these ensembles from their beginnings to the present day, highlights the spaces in which the music of the troupes is performed, and, on the basis of interviews with the performers discusses the performative strategies that performers consciously use with a purpose to approach a certain image that is created in relation to the audience through visuality, physicality, behavior, sound and words.
