Vzlet, Great Hall
Terne Čhave
Terne Čhave represent a unique phenomenon on the Czech and European music scene, they are recipients of the Anděl Award. They are currently the oldest working Czech Roma band. Since their beginnings, which date back to the 80s of the 20th century, they have stuck to their Romani roots, but they are not satisfied with endless variations on classic Romani folklore, but embark on a unique journey into different musical areas. Their development goes from folk to world music to rock'n'roll, their repertoire consists primarily of their own original work.
Not only the work of Jewish authors was presented in the concentration camps. Eternal Hope would also like to draw attention to the so-called "forgotten Holocaust", i.e. the persecution and liquidation of the Roma. There were several collection, work and concentration camps for Roma in Czech territory alone, whether the most famous Lety or the camp in Hodonín near Kunštát, four camps in Liberecko, others in Prague – Ruzyna, Brno, Pardubice, Olšovci.
Although Roma music was undoubtedly heard in the camps, it was not recorded other than in the memories of the witnesses. They talk about songs, violinists, cabaret. Survivor Roman Frister still remembers his "first days in Auschwitz". "I fell asleep to the singing and music of the gypsies. They played late into the night.” As part of the presentation at the Eternal Hope festival, a special band of songs is being prepared in accordance with the mission of the festival.
