Harafica Cimbál Band

NCSML welcomes the world-class cimbál band, Harafica, for the first time to the United States with performances in Chicago, Cedar Rapids, New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. This eight-member band was founded in 1999 by a group of young men attending elementary music school in Moravia. More than 20 years later, the group is still playing a repertoire of Czech and Slovak folk and modern songs, including original pieces. Under the guidance of experienced dulcimer player and composer, Petr Gablas, a group of charismatic musicians have earned respect amongst other dulcimer musicians and especially with audiences.
