J.A.R.

J.A.R.

Where were you on November 17, 1989? This isn’t about the clinking of keys on Národní třída – The Rap Revolution happened that day too. On that historic day, in a small spot in Smíchov, Prague, the seeds of J.A.R. (Jednotka Akademického Rapu) were sown. Over the past 35 years, this multi-headed beast has become a cornerstone of the Czech music scene.

Boldness and unconventionality haven’t faded with age; their musical journeys, laced with wordplay, venture into realms beyond the gaze of local and perhaps even international musicians. An intense funk odyssey will resound above Dolní Vítkovice during the 22nd edition of the beloved multi-genre festival Colours of Ostrava.

Audiences will marvel at Roman’s mastery of an arsenal of keyboards, envy Dan’s ability to rock two brilliant bands at one festival, and stand in awe of Michael’s enduring charisma, still rocking his iconic mesh tank top decades after earning the title of Czechoslovak rap champion. J.A.R. is a ten-piece force of nature, a raucous brotherhood of Homo Fonkianz delivering electrifying energy, clever humor, and a healthy dose of chaos. Expect an unapologetically raw performance, where funk meets rap and unpredictability reigns supreme. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the phenomenon, J.A.R.’s live show is pure Eskalace dobra, a jubilant explosion of sound and spectacle that’ll leave you exhilarated.
