Ratiboř

A singer with a range of three and a half octaves, a girl from Moravia who kept a photo of Louis Armstrong under her pillow, a cottage owner with a passion for cooking, and above all, the queen of swing – Pilarka.

 

‘Without her artistry, something would be missing from the Czech music scene.’

— Josef Škvorecký
