Kola Dokola - Čert Pouští Draka

Review by Magda Muhammad

Čert Pouští Draka, the latest album by Kola Dokola, is a masterpiece of Czech folk music. The album features 12 tracks that showcase the band's unique blend of traditional and modern sounds. The band's use of traditional instruments such as the accordion, cimbalom, and violin, combined with modern beats and electronic elements, creates a sound that is both familiar and fresh.

The album's opening track, "Čert Pouští Draka," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its haunting melody and driving rhythm. The lyrics tell the story of a devil who sets a dragon loose in the desert, and the ensuing chaos that ensues. Other standout tracks include "Zaplať Pánbůh," a lively dance tune with catchy hooks, and "Věčný Plamen," a beautiful ballad that showcases the band's musical prowess.

Kola Dokola's musicianship is evident throughout the album, with each instrument and vocal part perfectly complementing the others. The album also features guest appearances by other Czech folk musicians, adding to the richness of the sound.

Čert Pouští Draka is a must-listen for fans of Czech folk music, and a great introduction to the genre for those who are new to it. Kola Dokola has created an album that is both timeless and contemporary, and will undoubtedly become a classic in the Czech folk music canon.
