Etno Brno 2026 – Rí Ra

Description

Rí Ra, Celtic music The Prague group Rí Ra was formed in early 2008. The band's name comes from the Irish rírá, meaning good fun. The band has in its repertoire songs and ballads in English, French, and Irish, as well as instrumental jigs and reels played on whistle, classical and Irish flute, violin, guitar, bass guitar, and bodhrán or cajón. The musicians offer Irish music in their interpretation, not strictly adhering to the harmony and melody of so-called Celtic music, but enriching the sound with jazz elements, slap bass, and improvisations on Irish themes. With the arrival of a new guitarist, jazz solos occasionally appear. Kristýna Zíková – vocals Daniela Vránová – flutes Linda Jarošová – violin Michal Rudolf Cádra – guitar, vocals Lukáš Let – percussion David Ryšánek – bass guitar
