During his stay at the picturesque village of Topolovo the poet Matjaž Pikalo got his inspiration for the children’s poetry collection “Zverinice prijateljice” (Little beasty friends) and added a CD with 14 songs by the band Autodafé. The songs were set to music by Matjaž Pikalo and Luka Ropret. The CD was released with the book, which was illustrated by Cosimo Miorelli. The book is bilingual and the poems are translated into Italian (translation: Michele Obit). It was released at the end of June last year (Novi Matajur, 2012).
The band consists of five members that use acoustic instruments.
