Slovenian singer-songwriter and theatre actor. Styled as the "bard of the
Slovenian Littoral", he is best known for his ironic chansons in the
Littoral dialect of Slovene.
Mlakar is best known to the Slovenian public as a singer of songs
composed in his local Slovene dialect. His songs are frequently witty and
unusual reflections on eternal subjects such as love, passing and death, and
also about the joys of life, particularly wine and good food. Always written
from the perspective of the little man, they are often bitter comments on the
struggle of daily life and the injustice of social and political settings.
