The municipality's oldest folk music originated in the 1920s as the band of the Valigurských family. Several of its musicians later participated in the Pastrnik folklore group and in the Pastrnoci folk music ensemble. Thus, both the Valigurských family and Pastrnik and Pastrnoci are named in connection with the tradition.
