Approved

For their Enci benci Katalenci project, the Katalena band finds inspiration in counting-out rhymes, distinctly rhythmical, gibberish formulas full of mysterious words used by children, usually as a preliminary to games, to assign roles. The counting-out rhymes are handed down from one generation to the next, transmitted orally. A selection of Slovenian counting-out rhymes was published in the collection Enci benci na kamenci (Mladinska knjiga Publishing House). A counting-out rhyme is a game in itself – a game of coincidence. And this seemingly nonsensical counting-out was what inspired Katalena’s wide variety of stories, poems, motifs or ingenious ideas.
