Traditional folk music band Harafica from the Czech Republic is heading to the US! During its US tour, the cimbalom band will perform in New York, Chicago, Cedar Rapids, and Washington, D.C. The concerts of Harafica will introduce a lot more than just traditional cimbalom music and Moravian folk songs.
One of the top Czech cimbalom bands is heading across the pond to the US for its North American tour! Harafica has won the hearts of audiences thanks to its natural temperament, which radiates from everything these young musicians play, whether it's traditional folk songs or classical and modern music. It's no surprise that Harafica's concerts in their hometown of Uherské Hradiště and other venues across the Czech Republic sell out in just a matter of hours. The band has released three albums and has worked with a number of distinguished Czech artists such as Květa Fialová, Vojtěch Dyk, and Ondřej Brzobohatý. They've also performed in several European countries, including Spain, Switzerland, and France.

A young band born in the heart of Moravian Slovakia, Harafica ranks among the best bands to listen to in the Czech Republic. Led by experienced cimbalom player and music director Petr Gablas and lead violinist Martin Melichárek, this charismatic group has earned recognition on the domestic front, gaining many fans among Czech audiences.
Although firmly rooted in folk music, their music-making and projects stretch much further, and they don't shy away from mixing both modern and classical music either. The result is a fusion of overlapping genres and the band’s own compositions.
An evening with Harafica is a one-of-a-kind experience filled with folk and traditional tunes and a cocktail of genres including cinematic, modern and world music.
The event is made possible by the support of: The Association of Free Czechoslovak Sportsmen.
