The first under the name of Hrubá Hudba is a view of a musician Jiří Hradil (Tata Bojs, Umakart, Kafka Band, Lesní zvěř) on traditional Horňácko music, its connection with other genres and, at the same time, development towards contemporary music worlds.
“It's still here! There is a lot to develop! Where to get inspired and what to be proud of!” The words of Jiří Hradil seem to be interwoven with the whole project that he and Petr Mička have been preparing since 2016.

However, it is only the combination of the two halves that makes Hrubá Hudba a unique piece.

After all, the part of Hlasy starého světa (i.e. Voices of the Old World) brings truly raw, rough music.
