Tomáš Kočko & ORCHESTR

About

Concert by the folk band Tomáš Kočko & ORCHESTR from Brno's Dělňák, on the occasion of the launch of their album "ONA"... The band's music is firmly rooted in Moravian tradition, spiced with folk influences, rock energy, and metal riffs, combined with elements of world music. Tomáš Kočko & Orchestr was born out of the verses of Ladislav Nezdařil, a Moravian poet from Wallachia. In 1999, Tomáš Kočko & Orchestr released their debut album "Horní chlapci" with his lyrics set to music, for which Nezdařil chose the dialect of the Moravian Wallachians as his poetic language. Bandits, mountains, defiance, respect for traditions, love and death, which Nezdařil's poetry is full of, became the thematic areas of subsequent albums.
