Welcome
The dance and music group Rustica
was founded in Prague in 1984. The musical part of the ensemble has been working
separately under the name of Musica Rustica since 1991.
Musica Rustica is an urban ensemble,
whose performance is inspired by folk art. The group's efforts are focused on
conserving folk traditions though in their authentic form, members endeavour to
discover their own interpretation of folk art and freely adapt folk poetry and
musical motives recorded in the collections of folk art and archival sources.
Musica Rustica plays Czech songs and
dances from the 16 - 19th centuries, folk songs about love and war, songs and
rhytmes related to old anniversary traditions and Christmas carols.
Musica Rustica often performs for
both Czech and foreign audiences and has toured Germany, Austria, Great Britain,
Italy, Spain, Denmark and Bulgaria.
Musica Rustica has already recorded
its original and non-traditional approach to folk art (and the way of its
interpretation) on three CD's and has participated in high degree on two other CD's.
