Hrubá Hudba

Hrubá Hudba is a joint concert project of the nu-jazz band Lesní zvěr, its frontman Jiří Hradil, and Petr Mička's Horňácké muzik. It is based on the publishing title of the same name Hrubá Hudba, which juxtaposes and connects the authentic form of mining folk music in the form of Mička's band and Jiří Hradil's original music. However, the connection of these performers of different genres dates back to 2009, when the Mickovci guested on the debut album Lesní zvěre: Lesní zvěr. In the course of the following years, occasional joint concerts and performances at multi-genre festivals followed (e.g. Beseda u bigbítu or Colours of Ostrava), in the television documentary Slovak Suite > (director Jiří Šindar), at the International Folklore Festival Strážnice or as part of the Water Flows, Flows concert in Prague's Rudolfinum on 27 October 2018 for the centenary of Czech statehood. The cooperation between Lesní zvěra, Jiří Hradil and Petr Mička's Horňácká muzik resulted in the specific music-publishing project Hrubá Hudba. With the concert form of the project, the performers bring an original intermingling of two completely different musical worlds at first glance, which is unprecedented in the Moravian musical environment.
