Tata Bojs (opening concert of the RECONNECT festival)

Tata Bojs is a Prague-based pop-rock band formed in 1988. Its founding members are Milan Cais (drums) and Marek Huňát (aka Mardoša; bass), while other permanent members include Vladimír Bár, Dušan Neuwerth, and Jiří Hradil.

The idea to form the band came to two classmates—Milan Cais (drums) and Marek Huňát (aka Mardoša; bass)—while they were still attending elementary school in Prague’s Hanspaulka district. They recruited guitarist Marek Padevět, who played guitar and sang, and later also played the clarinet. The newly formed Tata Bojs played their first concert on June 29, 1988, in the TJ Spartak Dejvice gymnasium. This marked the beginning of the group's career performing in music clubs across Prague and beyond.

Since their school days, Tata Bojs have released over ten albums, including the successful *Biorytmy*, *Ležatá osmička*, *Jedna nula*, and *Nanoalbum*, the latter of which won four "Golden Angel" awards in 2004.
