Rapper M¥SS KETA visits the Fléda club. It will be her first ever concert in the Czech Republic

The Italian rapper and performer M¥SS KETA, who has been hiding her face and identity throughout her career, will perform in Brno. She will present her show for her new album Club Topperia at the Fléda club for the Czech premiere. The rapper has been hiding her face and identity her whole career.

M¥SS KETA is releasing a new album after two years. On Club Topperia, she invites listeners to a dreamy nightclub full of freedom. The record brings a critique of how dating is disappearing from the club environment at the expense of empty fun. “When you meet people at night, you talk to them. That’s what opens your mind more than anything else you do in a club. It’s about the people you meet when you come out of your shell,” explains M¥SS KETA to i-D magazine. The album’s songs feature the rapper’s role models, such as Silvia Calderoni and Francesca Cipriani, who have influenced her artistic identity. M¥SS KETA will perform on 12 November 2022 at 20:00 in the Brno club Fléda.

M¥SS KETA’s music represents a diverse mix of club genres. At the beginning of her career, she claimed attention by fusing electro, house, and R&B. Later, however, her sound opened up to pop and disco rhythms. The musician is intrinsically linked to Milan’s fashion scene and the local LGBTQ+ community. The singer is also known for her hypersexualized stylings, and her performances also include distinctive dance performances. An unmistakable element of M¥SS KETY’s artistic presentation is the face-obscuring veil, which the singer used long before the start of the queer pandemic.

M¥SS KETA has hidden her civilian identity throughout her career. She presents only her own fictional biography as the so-called Myssketian mythology. According to this, M¥SS KETA was born in 2013 as “a sensual Venus born in the shell of the Milanese club scene.” The truth is that the musician rose to fame that very year with the song “Milano, Sushi & Coca”, which ironically celebrates the local nightlife. After several successful club singles, the local personality has gradually become an international star. The debut album “L’angelo Dall’occhiale Da Sera” (2016) was released by M¥SS KETA while still under the banner of the independent collective Motel Forlanini. Further albums “UNA VITA IN CAPSLOCK” (2018), “PAPRIKA” (2019) and the dystopian EP "IL CIELO NON È UN LIMITE" (2020) have already been released under Universal. The major label has opened the performer’s doors to well-known addresses such as Badaboum in Paris, Berghain in Berlin and the Melt festival.

The final concert of this year’s instalment of the Barbara Maria Willi Presents series offered a unique project that on 4 December brought together two ensembles in the Convent of the Brothers of Mercy:  Cappella Pratensis and Ramillete de Tonos. They showed the audience the many different ways in which one can work with the polyphonic repertoire of the 15th and 16th centuries. The programme intertwined sacred and secular music, and purely vocal, vocal-instrumental and purely instrumental pieces.  more

The rediscovery and digitisation of the Brno polyphonic manuscripts BAM 1 and BAM 2 has opened a new chapter in the study and performance of Renaissance music. At the crossroads of historical research, modern technology, and artistic interpretation stands Past Forward, a cross-border project connecting institutions from the Netherlands, Belgium and the Czech Republic. At its artistic core are two musicians whose approaches complement each other: Tim Braithwaite, artistic director of Cappella Pratensis, and Kateřina Maňáková, lutenist, teacher of early plucked instruments at Janáček Academy of Performing Arts and guarantor of the entire initiative. In this conversation, they discuss working with previously overlooked sources, the challenges of historically informed performance, the promises of international collaboration, and their vision for the future of early-music interpretation.  more

The concert by Filharmonie Brno under Dennis Russell Davies on Thursday 6 November in Besední dům offered a fascinating programme combining the work of two contemporary composers from the former Soviet Union. The performers included Armenian baritone Aksel Daveyan, violist Julian Veverica, percussionist Lukáš Krejčí, and the Austrian Hard-Chor Linz choir under choirmaster Alexander Koller.  more

Moravian Autumn, organised by the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra, has long been one of the most important musical events of the autumn season. For the third time it also included the student project New World of Moravian Autumn – living proof that the connection between academia and professional practice can yield stimulating and deeply artistic results. This project, which originated at JAMU as an experiment within the course in practical dramaturgy, has evolved into a fully-fledged and respected part of the festival programme over the past few years.  more
