Over time, Hamo has become Matevž Šalehar’s always cheerful alter ego, while he himself prefers a little more privacy.

More information
Hamo & Tribute 2 Love concerts are always a treat for blues rock enthusiasts. Fifty shows a year and seven albums over the course of a 20-year career in which there’s hardly a venue in the country they haven’t sold out and filled with smiles. Experiences that few home-grown artists can match. Over the years their blend of tenderness, roguishness, humour and seriousness has become their trademark, with each concert adding a new stamp of quality. Concerts for audiences with good taste. This time they’re going big – with the best big band in the country and a new look – as they return to the stage at Križanke, a venue they love to play. A treat to end the summer with. Expect bold new arrangements by Tadej Tomšič and the first chance to hear songs from their upcoming album, all wrapped in a big band sound that will raise everything to a new level of lubezen – the band’s word for love.
