Nerez & Lucia: Zlom - CD

After 25 years, the band Nerez is back on the scene. This collection of twelve original songs—mostly by Zdeněk Vřešťál and Lucia Šoralová, but also featuring interesting guest songwriters (Ondřej Soukup and Silvia Kaščáková)—surprises with its genre diversity. The recording's style spans the whole of Europe, bringing together csárdás, folk ballads, reggae, chanson, and acoustic pop music. You'll hear Czech, Slovak, Hebrew, Serbo-Croatian, and Romani. The album stands out for the extraordinary vocal performances of the main protagonists, refined backing vocals, and virtuosic solos from the other band members.

The folk group Nerez was formed in 1981. Its core was the songwriting trio of Zuzana Navarová, Zdeněk Vřešťál, and Vít Sázavský. During their career, they won various awards, including the prestigious Porta and Vokalíza. They released highly acclaimed and sought-after studio albums such as Masopust, Na vařený nudli, Ke zdi, and Nerez v Betlémě. The group ceased its active work in the mid-1990s, although the main trio occasionally reunited on stage until the premature death of Zuzana Navarová (2004). Last year, Vřešťál and Sázavský teamed up with Lucia Šoralová, and Nerez entered the next phase of its existence.
