Cermaque trio + Člověk krve
Cermaque Trio Poet and songwriter Jakub Čermák with the band. So far, 12 studio albums have been released, two of which received nominations for the Anděl Award in the Folk and Alternative categories in previous years. Slovakian virtuoso Martin Barinec plays drums and electric guitar, and actress and composer Julie Goetzová plays viola. Man of blood Jan, also known as Man of Blood, has the word dream in his family name as well. From the magical spaces of his songs, living characters, familiar places and familiar words emerge from the magical spaces - contryhel, verpa, lukote... - and disappear again; the edges of the forest in the morning haze. The uncertainty of temporal anchoring and the certainty of eternity remain: across times and stories, human pain and joy are similar, and there is great sadness and great comfort in that. And poets/wanderers are needed to occasionally emerge from under the veil of fog – or from behind the peeling wallpaper in a lonely bedroom – and comfortingly remind us of this universal kinship. Man is a bell and walking makes it sound. Man is made of blood.
