DAN BÁRTA & ILLUSTRATOSPHERE
Dan Bárta, an eleven-time winner of the Angel Award in the categories Singer of the Year and Singer of the Quarter, became widely known in the nineties with the band Alice and his performance in the musical Jesus Christ Superstar. He also became an integral part of the cult JAR. His broad musical outlook was applied from danced Sexy Dancers to popular songs from movies (including Snowboarders, Rafťáci, Horem pádem) to jazz associated with, for example, Robert Balzar's trio. He left his mark in a number of other domestic music projects and performed with the greats of the world music scene (eg with the phenomenal singer Bobby McFerrin or with Sting's court guitarist Dominik Miller).
In 2000, Dan Bárta surprised fans with his own group Illustratosphere, with which he has released five regular albums and one live double album. The concert tour in 2024 will be dedicated mainly to the return to the songs from the first two records (the eponymous debut and Entropicture), which have been re-released in a remastered reissue (and for the first time also on vinyl).
An unmistakable voice with excellent singing technique, lyrics that play with the charm of the Czech language and first-class musicians: all this gives rise to songs that soar above the domestic standard of popular music. Dan Bárta & the Illustratosphere have been enchanting listeners across generations and musical genres for over twenty years!
The concert is for sitting.
