  • When: December 12, 2018, 19:00 – 21:00

Jiří Černý’s playback session will be dedicated to the phenomenon of the singer-songwriters association Šafrán (1972–1978). Černý, a music journalist, was there when Czech urban folk song writing was born at the end of the 1960s, appearing on stage with Šafrán members and working with them over many years. The evening will focus on his view of the key names in Czech folk and their work.

The event is organised by the Václav Havel Library as an accompanying event to the exhibition From Ear to Ear, or the Šafrán Phenomenon. It is taking place at the Clementinum (15. 11. 2018 – 15. 1. 2019) and has been organised by the Czech National Library and publishers Galén under the auspices of Ombudswoman Anna Šabatová and partners: PEN International – Czech Centre, Václav Havel Library and Seznamem.cz
