Madera
was born in 2003 when Iván Gutiérrez and Tadeáš Mesany met at a
bar called Duende
in Prague and decided to put together a repertoire. In 2005, after
playing together for a year, they recorded an album based on that
repertoire, inviting several wonderful musicians to participate.
They currently perform songs from it – as well as other songs from
their own arbor and further afield, too – throughout the Czech Republic.

Though his roots are in New York and Bogotá, he settled long ago in Prague, his adopted home, brought by love. He got together with Zuzana Navarová in 1993 and began a fruitful musical partnership that bore three albums – Tres (1995), Skleněná vrba (1999) and Zelené album (2000) – until he left the Czech Republic for an interlude in Madrid, Spain. In 2003, he came back to Prague, where he currently hangs out with friends, does music, translates and teaches composition and philosophy. |
