Songs of Zuzana Navarová

TAKHRAJ

Songs of Zuzana Navarová & KOA from 1999–2004. 

The Liberec-based band TAKHRAJ focuses primarily on the work of Zuzana Navarová from 1999–2004, the period when she performed with the band KOA. There are several reasons for this, but the main one lies in the lyricism of the texts she composed at that time. Heavily influenced by her personal life, the lyrics reflect hope, faith, determination, and ultimate acceptance. The songs in TAKHRAJ's repertoire represent a cross-section of her work from these years. The aim is to keep these songs from being forgotten and to highlight that Zuzana Navarová should not only be associated with the band Nerez, as her work with KOA is exceptionally compelling and deeply communicative in its narrative. Since Navarová's music accompanied both lead singers from a young age—and they always eagerly anticipated each new album release—they strive to preserve the spirit, message, and expression of her songs, even though the instrumentation and arrangements are different. Band members: Jan Kosák (guitar, vocals), Gabriela Medwell (vocals, percussion), Petra Vacková (violin), Edit Boušová (percussion), Miloš Virt (double bass), and Miroslav Baše (trumpet).
