The band MYDY is planning a new album launch in Brno

The band MYDY (formerly Mydy Rabycad) is releasing an album called simply “V”. It is available for listening on all streaming platforms. MYDY will release it in the Brno club Fléda.

The album is about the happenings inside the band, which comes back to itself in eleven songs. “V”, or Roman numeral five, emphasizes the importance of the individual members, and it is also the band’s fifth studio album. Although three producers collaborated on it and it was recorded in six different studios, MYDY consider it the most complete. The seven songs were produced by Matěj Belko, who worked on the award-winning albums Řeka by Lenka Dusilová and Jednou tě potkám by Vladimír Mišík, among others. Three songs were produced by the young German producer EMI EMI. The mix was done by Nèro Scartch, the main composer and now drummer of MYDY. The mastering was done by Risto Sokolovski. There are also guests on the album, apart from the already mentioned producers Matěj Belko and EMI EMI, who recorded a number of musical instruments during the creation process, they are Circus Brothers (winds), Roman Vícha (drums), Josef Fečo (double bass) and last but not least Jana Věnečková (violin). The album launch is announced for 23 November 2022 at 20:30 in the Fléda club.

“We wanted this album to have a certain atmosphere. With ‘V’, we agreed that after all the negative events of the last three years, there has been so much that it’s just annoying us, and that we want to bring something that makes people and ourselves laugh and dance. And even though I didn’t feel 100% right at the time, I still tried to find my way and hunted through older lyrics to remind myself of what made me feel good back then. And I found it. As a result, it was an incredibly healing process and it confirmed to me that everything negative has its positive side,” says the singer Žofie. “Compared to previous albums, we talked a lot about the lyrics and thought a lot about how to present them. We didn’t want to underestimate them. We discussed them and some songs had three versions before we found the right one,” adds Nèro.

MYDY have put together a new set, new costumes and a renewed set design is then a commonplace for the band. “The new playlist is incredibly energetic, there’s not a single weak spot in it,” promises the band. Both launches will feature previously unplayed new songs from the current album, as well as proven classics like Just Dance and Rise Up. With the band’s round anniversary this year, audiences can also look forward to long unplayed songs from the early days of the then Mydy Rabycad.

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
