Brno, Oct 5 (BD) – A Mikulov’s rapper, El Nino made a video clip with singer and actress Eva Pilarova, for a song with a simple, but clear name Brno, to show their respect to the South Moravian metropolis.
In the lyrics, Brno is called a city of peace and love, which has wrinkles since the time of the Sudetenland (areas of former Czechoslovakia which were inhabited primarily by Sudeten Germans).
In the video clip you can see the most famous places in Brno, such as Svobody square, villa Tugendhat, colorful umbrellas at Česká Street and Mahen Theater.
Brno’s singer Eva Pilarová sings about the city of her youth as she remembers it.
“The lyrics are about nostalgic memories of childhood. El Nino sent me a demo and asked me whether I want to work with him. I like to work with young artists, so I said why not,” the famous singer says in the interview for Czech on-line daily iDnes.cz.
Eva Pilarová (born 1939, in Brno) is a Czech singer and actress. She won Golden Nightingale award three times, the International Intervision Song Contest in Bavaria (1967) and was awarded the Grand Prix du Disque for her interpretation of “Requiem”.
El Nino, who originally comes from Mikulov, but has been living in Brno for a while, was very surprised by Pilarovás’ willingness.
Besides her, he achieved to attract Bolek Polívka and Miroslav Donutil for the video clip. Singer Monika Bagarova and goldsmith Luboš Korbička also agreed to cooperate.
“The main reason why I chose these people, is that they are Brno’s citizens who have done something for our city,” the rapper smiles.
Both, El Nino and Eva Pilarová hope that they will meet again.
“In three years I will be celebrating sixty years on the scene, so I told El Nino that if he will be still alive, we will sing Brno on the concert together” the singer jokes.
