Fléda: Mydy Rabycad presents their new album M.Y.D.Y.

On Thursday Brno’s Fléda club will play host to the group Mydy Rabycad, who will be arriving with their new album M.Y.D.Y., an innovative lighting design, sets and costumes.

Mydy Rabycad are opening another chapter with their third disc. Mydy Rabycad has a series of concerts in the USA behind them as well as a show at the Glastonbury Festival. Their latest album demolishes genre boundaries. The eleven new tracks gradually leave behind the sound of electroswing. Despite this the pilot single Just Dance is a literal invitation to dance, just differently. The album links swing, pop and electronica. “When they listen I want people to feel the same energy from our music both when live and from recordings. We at M.Y.D.Y. have done our best for this,” comments band member Žofie. The mood of the album corresponds to the refreshing spaces of Berlin’s Red Bull Music Studios, where the Prague group spent several days behind closed doors and to make this recording of today’s music.

The producer of the album was Tomáš Konůpka, and a number of guests were also involved: the wind section under Miroslav Hloucal, a string quartet led by Hana Kašpárek Vyšínská and the bass player Josef Fečo. The third standard disc from Mydy Rabycad confirms their status as one of the most up-to-date youthful formations. Their sound evokes a palette of emotions and often makes you want to dance. Aside from Berlin’s Red Bull Music Studios the album was also recorded in the Svárov, Barrandov Sound and G.A.W. studios.

The concert has been announced for 30 November 2017 in Brno’s Fléda club from 8 p.m.

With Thursday's concert entitled Bruckneriana, the Brno Philharmonic under the direction of Principal Conductor Dennis Russell Davies launched the subscription series Philharmonia in the Theatre I. The orchestra performed works by Anton Bruckner and Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, a Polish-American conductor and composer who devoted his life's work to Bruckner. Performers wearing crimson sashes with the inscription "Playing forte!” appeared in front of the audience, joining the "Let's not let culture die” initiative, which draws attention to the underfunding of culture and opposes the government's plan to invest just 0.64% of the state budget into culture next year, moving further and further away from its promise to spend at least 1%.  more

Baladas da Luta, Fighting Ballads, is the title of the sixth album by Brazilian singer Mariana Da Cruz and her Swiss-Brazilian band Da Cruz. It is a combination of modern music that combines Latin American tradition and contemporary electronic elements with strong lyrics. In them, the author fights for women’s rights, stands up against dictatorships and specifically criticizes the atmosphere that has evolved in Brazil under the now former authoritarian President Bolsonaro. Da Cruz performed at Brasil Fest Brno in August 2023. We revisit this festival with an interview conducted following their concert at Zelný trh. Singer Mariana Da Cruz and keyboard player and producer Ane Hebeisn, performing as Ane H, responded to our questions.  more
