More about Raduza
As a singer, composer of music and lyrics and an instrumentalist, Rad--za began her career with a sort of blues repertoire playing on the street. She was soon discovered there in 1993 by a Czech singer named Zuzana Navarová. Three days later Rad--za was introduced to a wider public in Lucerna at a concert called "The end of Czech culture - no!". In May of the same year she was again performing on the stage in Lucerna as the pre-performer of American pop-star, Suzanne Vega. Rad--za then collaborated for two seasons with a band called Nerez. In 1994 Rad--za was invited by members of Nerez to participate in the recording of their Christmas CD "Nerez in Bethlehem." She released MC at the firm Black point and in cooperation with the agency, Krach Ji--ího Korna, she made a video-clip for Czech television.
In 1996 she performed as the guest of a well-known band, Marsyas, and in February 1996 she cooperated with Michal Pavlí--ek and the band, Abraxas, on the filming of a television program entitled "Na Klobou--ku". In the summer of 1999 Rad--za performed as the pre-performer of Mike Oldfield. Since January 1999 she has performed in the Cabaret of Václav Koubek in Jazzclub --elezná.
In 2001 Rad--za finished her studies at the Prague conservatory, where she graduated from her studies in composition with the spiritual cantata recorded by the Czech Radio. In the same year her first CD called "And--lové z nebe" ("Angels from Heaven") was released by the company Indies records. She is also the composer of the backround music for the performance "Století touhy"/"Century of Desire"/ at the theatre Archa, "Li--ák"/"Fox"/, and "Baron z Hopsapichu" /"Baron of Hopsapich"/ at the Theatre in Celetná, Spolek Ka--par.
As a guest, she participated in the recording of the CD of the Brno band named Cymbelín (CD called "Kolem osy" - "Round the Axis", 2001), cult band Jablko-- ( CD "Cestující v noci" - "Travelling at Night", 2003) and released her author´s CD "…stand by me" (Indies rec., 2003). In January 2003 Brno television transmitted Rad--za´s recital "Solo for…", in February of the same year Rad--za appeared beside Zuzana Navarová in the program "At full blast" and accepted an invitation to the program "A night with an Angel". Her cooperation with the band Jablko-- reached its peak with the instrumentalisation of a piece of music for the 25th anniversary of the existence of the band Symphonic Jablko--, when she sang in the Archa theatre with a symphonic orchestra.
Her music is partly derived from chanson, but Rad--za is mostly inspired by folk music and the mood of city flash songs, which in her raw presentation offer unexpected musical and text phrases. Therefore she belongs to the youngest generation of Czech alternative music and she is successfully accepted not only in her home country, but also abroad.
The year 2003 brought her awards: three golden Angels (Czech music industry awards) in categories: Singer of the Year, Discovery of the Year and the Folk&Country category. Her last CD “…stand by me” stayed near the top of IFPI CD sales chart for several weeks, therefore it is no surprise Rad--za is going to be awarded a golden disc in June.

Her album „...Stand By Me“ has been at the top of the pop charts for a few weeks and so it was no surprise when she was awarded the golden record in June.
In the same year Rad--za was awarded The Golden Nightingale Contest award for the artist who has increased in public popularity the most during the past 12 months.
In the beginning of 2005 Rad--za went on a tour to France where she tried out her new songs in front of live audiences, which she recorded in a studio immediately after her return. Therefore her last album „In a Mountain“ has rocketed up the charts - again without any media campaign. Critics and audiences have responded very enthusiastically, but Rad--za went on a few months later to add some new songs to her repertoire – songs that have not been recorded yet. She played the songs accompanied by the piano (which she used to play before the accordion) and her performances are therefore given a new dimension.
In September 2005 Rad--za was invited to cooperate in a new film by Jan H--ebejk „A Beauty in Difficulties“. Not only can the audience look forward to songs known from her previous CDs, but to a completely new blues track that was written specially for this film, based on a text of Robert Graves. She is accompanied by members of Koa Band – Omar Khaouaj and Franti--ek Raba. On this track Rad--za plays harmonica solo and she is going to release the soundtrack as she does not suppose she will include this song in any of her future CDs. This blues track has an exotic flavour. It will be the first time the singer trying to avoid being in centre of media attention appears in a movie.

SOLANGE MAN SINGT (Dokud se zpívá)
Halbstündlich fahren die Züge zur Lebenslaufschicht Gestern hab ich nicht geschlafen und heut schlaf ich nicht Heilger Medard, mein Patron, gibt mir zärtlich die Sporn Solange man singt, ist doch noch nicht alles verlorn
In einer Markthalle kauf ich mir’n Hefeteigzopf Hab für die Liebe das Herz, für die Lieder den Kopf Seit meiner Schulzeit weiß ich aus den Lebenskontorn Solange man singt, ist doch noch nicht alles verlorn
Fahrscheine kleb ich ins Album nach Fahrziel und Zeit Und hier am Anfang des Wegs scheint das Ende noch weit Wie’n Leporello wird stetig das Leben geborn Solange man singt, ist doch noch nicht alles verlorn
Hundertmal hab ich gespielt und bezahlt jedesmal Und auf der Achterbahn dreht es dich ganz kolossal Habn sich die Aasgeier längst auch auf mich eingeschworn Solange man singt, ist doch noch nicht alles verlorn
Halbstündlich fahren die Züge ans Ende der Welt Ich hab am Telefon all meine Freunde bestellt Aus weiter Ferne klang mir dieser Satz in den Ohrn Solange man singt, ist doch noch nicht alles verlorn
