David Koller & Band to perform at the Concert for the Attentive in Nova Cvernovka
David Koller, the fundamental member of the Czecho-Slovak music scene, will perform at the Concert for the Attentive in Nova Cvernovka accompanied with his band. Koller was first active in the alternative band Jasná páka and then played in bands Žentour, Pražský výběr, and Blue Effect. In 1987 he co-founded Lucie, one of the most successful bands of Czechoslovakia. In March 2015, he released the album ČeskosLOVEnsko and in April this year, the album brought him three statuettes from the Angel Award issued by the Czech Academy of Popular Music: for the best singer, best album and band of quarter-century (Lucie). Koller in several songs of his latest album criticises the tendency of the powerful to turn to the Communist past. “I would be happy if our government didnʼt draw us the east direction”, was his message during the ceremony of the Angel Award issued by the Czech Academy of Popular Music.

It is remarkable that as one of the most popular Czech artists, he is still socially active and uncompromisingly opposes totalitarianism in any form. He participated in the campaigns “S komunisty se nemluví” (You donʼt speak to communists) and “Nikagda nězabuděm” (I will never forget); most recently, he declared a boycott of the clubs and halls that organise concerts of the controversial Czech band Ortel, as the band endorses right-wing extremism. “If they want to earn on hatred, fear, and xenophobia, they are not going to earn on David Koller”, said his manager of this activity. His popularity in Slovakia is also evidenced by the fact that his video from Pohoda 2016 is one of the three most watched in the history of the YouTube channel of the Pohoda festival. At the Concert for the Attentive, he will play a set consisting of his songs and the biggest hits of band Lucie. The concert will also be a small bite of what fans can look forward to in his upcoming summer tour of Slovakia in 2022.
