Szidi Tobias & Band: Okná dokorán /V-Klub, Bratislava/

Szidi Tobias sings from the heart what is both expressed and hidden in the words of her husband Petr Lipovský. As she says about herself: "At concerts, I am myself and what I want to be. Hymns and psalms about love, hope and joy. The one who understands gives us the most."

Milan Vyskočáni's music has a playfulness of melodic transformations and a surprising diversity of genres. Blues, folk, jazz and chanson. Jewish crying, gypsy laughter, Hungarian passion and tenderness. The composition of music is a challenge for the band, which holds them together not only in the notes, but also in the energizing joy of playing together for many years. For decades, they traveled together throughout Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia. They went to their fans from Karlovy Vary to Kráľovský Chlmec to bring people together, to find ancient truths in the words of Petr Lipovský at concerts, to hear the varied music of Milan Vyskočáni and the soulful singing of Szidi. Lyrics and music are what hold together "like water to flour."

At the concert, she is accompanied by first-class musicians: Milan Vyskočáni: piano, guitar, Marcel Buntaj: drums, Andrej Gál: cello, Tamás Belicza: double bass, Ján Slezák: saxophone, flute, Filip Krišš: accordion. They released eight albums: Divý mak, Punto Fijo (Zlatá platňa), Pod obojím, Do vetra, Let it happen, Jolanka (Zlatá platňa) and the selection Sedmoláska. The current concerts are dedicated to the latest album Okná dokorán, which was released in November 2024.
