Master’s thesis analyses a set of folk poem texts by ensemble Slapovi. The historical development of the folk genre and its genres is presented, the concept of folk music is defined, and the work of the ensemble, which received a diamond record from the parent publishing house Helidon, is presented. The core of the master’s thesis is the analysis of texts, where we focus on the motives, themes, and ideas. In conclusion, we conclude that ensemble Slapovi contributed to the continuity of Slovenian folk genre and its genres, in comparison with simultaneously created folk texts contributed some original motif fragments – the anchorage and safe haven where happiness reigns is not only the countryside, but also the city, flowers from the home garden are no longer only a symbol of affection to a loved girl but also family love, traditional partnerships are loosening, song is no longer only an expression of joy or sadness, but it can have the form of a request for forgiveness and the restoration of broken relationship, the professions of mason and railroad worker are thematized, stress the importance of progress for the future – and with the theme of Dolenjska region, they have greatly contributed to the cultural recognition of their hometown and Dolenjska.
