Motto: Far better is the Romany brass music, which plays out of tune than the precisely performed Madame Buttefly bound by routine. (Goran Bregovič)

Ahmed má hlad is directing far and more to the east or the Panslavism in practice

The new second ordinary CD by the band Ahmed má hlad is called Magadan. It is also the title of the second song of this album, which is about the journey of the band bass guitarist into this distant eastern port of Russia. On Magadan the authorial songs of the members of the band (especially clarinettist Mikuláš Kroupa) in ethical spirit a bit surprisingly prevails over the original folk songs from Macedonia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Poland and Moravia. Ahmed remained faithful to its old inspiration by the Balkans and east and it musicalized in its authorial opuses especially the Slavonic folk texts (Ukrainian, Byelorussian, Russian, Serbian, Croatian, Polish and Macedonian) in "Ahmedian" way, i.e. as the authentic folk wedding (or funeral) band. Raw and earthy arrangements and unrestrained musical expression moreover give rock and punk drive to the Ahmed folk songs. Curiosity of the album is the participation of the guests from the famous Prague families: we know the names Kroupa, Matásek and Ornest from politics and theaters...
