Why is folk a phenomenon in the Czech lands? What did it come from and who does it owe for the essential albums? How big a role did Porta play? Where did the work of songwriters from the cities meet with the songs of tramps from campfires? Does a folk singer guarantee his work? Who are the young talented singers? Who failed, and who will go down in history? We also talked about this with Ondřej Bezr, who has been one of the most prominent Czech music columnists for three decades. | photo: Petr Kozlík, MAFRA

Lukáš Kašpar13. November 2021 14:00 Unlock the article Folk was a phenomenon, 25,000 people went to the festivals, says Ondřej Bezr (52), who has been one of the most prominent Czech music columnists for three decades. How big a role did Porta play? Where did the work of songwriters from the cities meet with the songs of tramps from campfires? Who are the young talented singers? Who failed and who will go down in history?

Is folk a protest movement? It is far from just protest songs. Bob Dylan, considered the greatest songwriter of all time, did write protest songs, but the vast majority of his work has nothing to do with any protests at all. Yes, they reflect social issues, but they are rarely outright protest songs.
