Dan Bárta & Illustratosphere

Dan Bárta & Illustratosphere will perform at Museu Kampa on June 25, 2026.

Dan Bárta, eleven-time winner of the Anděl Award in the categories Singer of the Year and Singer of the Quarter Century, became widely known in the nineties with the band Alice and his performance in the musical Jesus Christ Superstar. He also became an integral part of the cult J.A.R. His broad musical outlook gained application from danced Sexy Dancers to popular songs from movies (including Snowboarders, Rafts, Horm pádem) to jazz associated with, for example, Robert Balzar's trio. He left his mark in a number of other domestic music projects and performed with the greats of the world music scene (e.g. with the phenomenal singer Bobby McFerrin or with Sting's court guitarist Dominik Miller).

In 2000, Dan Bárta surprised fans with his own group Illustratosphere, with which he has so far released five regular albums and one live double album. The first four albums were also released in remastered reissues and for the first time on LP.

An unmistakable voice with excellent singing technique, lyrics that play with the charm of the Czech language and first-class musicians: all this gives rise to songs soaring above the domestic standard of popular music, which have been appealing to listeners across generations for 25 years.

Lineup:

• Dan Bárta – vocals
• Filip Jelínek – keyboards
• Miroslav Chyška – guitar
• Robert Balzar – bass
• Martin Valihora – drums
