McKinley Dixon Concert Moved to La Fabrika

We were very sorry to hear that Kasárna Karlín has been closed down for the time being.

Pokud jste v Lucerně (ne)byli, přečtěte si recenzi Daniela Konráda z Aktuálně.cz nebo Ondřeje Bezra z Lidových novin. Oba se shodují, že se pravděpodobně jednalo o nejlepší ...

Mandolínový virtuos Chris Thile je talent od Boha

Bach, Paul Simon, Leonard Cohen i Radiohead. Nebe i peklo. Smích i slzy. „Thile dovádí, jako by s ním šili čerti. Tleská do rytmu, dupe nohama, perkusivně tepe na korpus nástroje. Při rychlých bězích po pražcích divoce škube tělem jako loutka na provázku." Nepopsatelný festivalový recitál fenomenálního Chrise Thileho skvěle popsal Daniel Konrád z Aktuálně.cz. Přeneste se skrz jeho recenzi do La Fabriky, kde jste během koncertu mohli slyšet spadnout špendlík. Mnoho podob mandolínisty vystihla ...

Strings of Autumn festival changes name to Prague Sounds, announces line-up featuring Nils Frahm, Laura Mvula, Ghostpoet, and more
