Artists / Hradišťan

Hradišťan belongs among the oldest and best known Moravian dulcimer bands. The group was founded along with a dance group in 1950 in Uherské Hradiště. Since 1978, Jiří Pavlica has been the artistic head of Hradišťan. He has intensified the creative work with folklore and moved it to the cooperation with the world. They make an interesting form of world music, eg. cooperation with a Japanese or African multiinstumentalist and stars of Czech folk such as Vlasta Redl or Spiritual kvintet.
