Lanugo (CZ)

A group performing modern pop music, jazz and soul with a touch of electronica combines the dynamic vocals of Markéta Foukalová and the elite of Czech and in Prague living Slovak, predominantly jazz musicians like the pianist Viliam Béreš and double-bassist Rastislav Uhrík. “This is pop music that is performed by owners of brains, good hearing, taste and talent,” said the reviews about the band’s debut album as early as in 2009. Last year saw the release of Lanugo 2014, an interactive project with musical content across boundaries. “Our music has naturally developed; we definitely did not let ourselves be pulled by some imaginary goal of ‘becoming more famous’,” Markéta said to UNI magazine.
