She studied music in Berlin, co-founded the band The Flavians, and then even played at the legendary Glastonbury Festival. Anna Vaverková didn’t need a big PR strategy to quickly become a successful musician. But no one’s surprised: The singer–songwriter from the Czech Republic has an ear for wonderfully unusual melodies with unexpected touches of jazz and folk. At the same time, though, she also has an elf-like timbre and approaches her very personal composition process with a youthful sense of adventure. As a result, songs such as “Se nemůže stát” (2023) and “Ulalala” (2024) are imbued with a restrained magic with which Vaverková bridges the gap between the personal on the one hand and the universal and approachable on the other. Whether it’s social, political, or biographical themes, the singer–songwriter and producer endows her music with depth and thematic resonance and manages to strike a chord with her audience. This is the type of art that not many have mastered – especially live on stage.
