World Music: Kvety, "Circus"
(Czech Republic) Twice nominated for "Best Alternative Band" in Czech Republic, Kvety is more of an art band than a hard rocking one. Starting out as a free improv project, from which motifs were developed, the band has evolved into one that produces actual songs that are haunting and poetic. Original founding member Martin E. Kyspersky sings the lead vocals and writes the songs. The video is an animated collage of photographs from the 19th century, used to evoke a sense of nostalgia, but also to stir other associations, bringing to mind "Une Semaine de Bonté" of Max Ernst.
