Druha trava ( Second Grass )
active from year 1991
Czech world music with bluegrass roots. Started after Krestan and Malina left the band Poutnici. Thanks to ranaissance personality of Robert Krestan and high technical skills of all members, they break all the genre boundaries, both musical and geographical. The band is able to tune into blues, country, rock, jazz as well as classical music, yet the sound remains authentic and unique. The band announced end in 2001 but met again in 2004 in a changed line-up.
