V loňském roce tomu bylo 15 let, kdy bratři Malinové, dnes nejvýznamnější veličiny bluegrassové hudby u nás, založili spolu s kontrabasistu Pavlem Peroutkou skupinu Malina Brothers.

Kapela vyráží od ledna do dubna na turné, kde zazní to nejlepší z jejich patnáctileté kariéry.

Malina Brothers za sebou mají několik koncertů v USA, natočili pět řadových CD a jubilejní DVD s hosty Charliem McCoyem a Kateřinou García. Posluchači se mohou těšit na písně jako Stín staré řeky, A život běží dál nebo Rychlejší koně, ale také na ty nové z aktuálního alba V peřejích.

Na CD se několika texty podílí Radůza a Pepa Lábus a hraje například Winston Watson, legendární bubeník Boba Dylana a další zajímaví hosté.

An extraordinary fusion of Bluegrass and Baroque music from the Czech Republic.

In 2010 the three Malina brothers, namely banjo player Luboš (oftheaward-winning „Czechgrass“ group Druhá tráva), guitarist Pavel, and violinist Josef, formed their family band Malina Brothers, which was eventually joined by Pavel Peroutka on double bass. All four “Brothers” are natives of Náchod, a city on the Czech-Polish border.

They have toured extensively in the USA, as well as on domestic and European stages, and they have collaborated with Czech and international musicians such as Peter Rowan, Charlie McCoy, Béla Fleck and others.

The Malina Brothers honour their musical connections to the Eastern-Bohemian Bluegrass and “Tramping” traditions, which were their main influences during the stark years of the Communist regime.

The three Malina brothers eventually developed their own, unique musical style based on their listening to American Country and Bluegrass recordings (which would occasionally make their way into Czechoslovakia through the Iron Curtain), combined with the musical influences of the local “Tramping” movement, Eastern European Folklore, and Classical music.

On their latest album, “Baroquegrass 1721-2021” the Malina Brothers introduced a fusion of Bluegrass and Baroque music with a series of original arrangements, creating a brand new musical style: Baroquegrass.
