Muzička

Muzička has a kind of special status on Slovak traditional music and dance scene. It happened to be at the birth of the new movement in Slovak traditional music and dance interpretation in the  90-ties. Young musicians started to reject previously established kitschy-romantic adaptations of traditional material and decided to dedicate their attention mainly to the study of authentic recordings, films and also to the field research of still living Slovak traditional musical culture. Muzička presents results of this wave to the broad public and tries to preserve original temperament forms.It is not unusual to see hundreds of people dancing at Muzička’s music. Every member of Muzička, except playing, also sings and singing is an equally important part of its expression. On the top, Muzička often cooperates on performances with small group of excelent dancers: http://youtu.be/SZBk2PZbv94?list=RDgat85wzCjYc .

Muzicka interprets different kinds of Slovak traditional music – temperament (https://soundcloud.com/muzicka/tam-okolo-levoci, https://soundcloud.com/muzicka/oj-na-hori-cvite-len) as well as lyric (https://soundcloud.com/muzicka/dobre_tomu_suhajkovi).

Some of Muzička’s projects tend to be a bit unusual, although, based on number of view, quite popular

Most of Muzička's showcases take place in Slovakia, which still has a very vivid scene of traditional music. Muzička performed at all of Slovakian largest folklore festivals (Východná, Detva, Myjava...) but also at multi-genre festivals such as Pohoda. Muzička, as well, had many successful performances in Hungary, Poland, Czech republic etc., where we cooperated with some quite famous musicians - e.g. Fono Band (Budapest), Jan Karpiel-Bulecka (Zakopane-Poland). Muzička was involved as a co-producer of the project Husľovačka, which at the years 2007 - 2010 was very succesfull at all major Slovak folklore festivals with combined audience of more than 25000.

Two of Muzicka’s recording were nominated for a Slovak version of "Grammy" - Radio_Head Awards in the last 4 years and recording https://soundcloud.com/muzicka/romske-zo-sarisa placed 4th in international contest of broadcast recordings "Svetozár Stračina Grand Prix" in 2009.
