• First DVD by Iva Bittová – the amazing Czech singer (and violinist, and composer) – who recognises no boundaries in music, and is one of the most significant and original personalities of contemporary Czech music. Her musical projects & recordings have won recognition on a world-wide scale, and she has staged successful concerts all over Europe, the United States and Japan.

• The DVD presents a wealth of material by this remarkable performer : a 90 minute Prague concert - backed by the Bang On A Can All-Stars sextet (piano, guitar, clarinet, cello, bass & drums); a TV Archive (60 min) with 18 features; and 5 Video tracks.

• Bittova was born in 1958 into a musical family and she lives in a small village near Brno, in what was then Czechoslovakia. She studied acting, but soon turned to singing, winning many awards. Her style is fresh, expressive and original - combining elements of jazz and world music - with rich and colourful rhythms and sounds.
