One of the most singular phenomena of the Czech music scene is bringing České moře to Ostrava. The band led by charismatic frontman Albert Romanutti creates a world where echoes of the past blend with visions of the future. Living dreams collide with electronics, melancholy with playfulness, and pop music drifts off into other dimensions. They first appeared at Colours of Ostrava back in 2019, when only a handful of singles were out. The EP Supr followed later that autumn, a live album 2050 arrived in 2021, and the band finally unveiled its debut album in 2024.
Bert & Friends are now preparing a big show for the 23rd edition of Colours, drawing on their acclaimed performances at the Rudolfinum and Forum Karlín, as well as concerts in Tokyo, Seoul, and closer to home in Děčín and Frýdek-Místek. With songs like Haluzinace, Plody moří and Lambaláda, Bert & Friends have won fans across generations. This summer, they will also bring to Ostrava the still-fresh sound of České moře.
