Hradistan
active from year 1950
originally a dulcimer band from Uherske Hradiste playing pure traditional music; after arrival of the new bandmaster Jiri Pavlica, step by step heading out of the genre, playing with jazz, rock and folk artists. On their own later albums, the music is still very much tradicional folk but also influenced by old classical music and other genres.
