CANCELED—Harafica

  • Czech Center Museum Houston 4920 San Jacinto Street Houston, TX, 77004 United States (map)

Traditional folk music band Harafica from the Czech Republic is heading to Texas! During its Texas tour, the cimbalom band will perform in Houston, Austin, and LaGrange. The concerts of Harafica will introduce more than just traditional cimbalom music and Moravian folk songs.

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.
