It has 20 albums to its credit, its members are multiple winners of the Anděl award, and in 2021 frontman Robert Křesťan even entered the Hall of Fame. We are talking about the band Druhá trava, which celebrates 33 years on the scene this year. The group will celebrate its anniversary on December 5 with its biggest single concert to date at Prague’s Karlín Forum. The fans will be able to decide on the form of the playlist on the website and Druhá tráva Facebook.
Preparations for the band’s concert take a whole year. The second grass will use projections and stage design on them, on which he collaborates with VJ and animator Linda Arbanová. In addition, the line-up for both shows will be strengthened by additional players and guests. “However, we will publish their names gradually,” says band manager David Němeček.
Fans of Druhá tráva can get involved in the preparation of the concert now. The group is running a poll on their Facebook and website where they can vote on what they would like to hear about them. “Robert Křesťan preselected more than ninety compositions. There are also some that the band has never played live for a long time or even at all. Everyone can choose five of their favorites,” explains Němeček.
Druhá tráva has been characterized by two distinctive features throughout its existence: the exceptional authorship and interpretation of Robert Křesťan and the extraordinary instrumental skill of the other members of the group. As one of the few Czech bands, they regularly toured the United States of America with a very favorable response. The list of important foreign performers with whom Druhá trava has collaborated or collaborates with includes such personalities as Peter Rowan, Tony Trischka or Charlie McCoy.
