New hit in czech radios!

I have a philosophical question for you :)

How do you select the songs which you like?
Does the race play role in it?

I dont know what to think about Czech people. Are we really taking the race in account or is it only gipsies we don´t like?

I am always suprised to see the discussions when some song contest is happening and there is one representative who is gipsy. Many people say right from the beginning, that he/she doesnt have a chance because he is gipsy and Czech people wont vote for him/her.

But I keep being suprised.

Three or four years ago in contest "Česko hleda superstar" one guy, Vlasta Horvát, gipsy, won the competition.

And what more...

this year at the competiton for selecting the first Czech representative for Eurovision, there was again some gipsies represented. Group called Gipsy.cz. They didnt win, but their song is now very popular and is playing in many radios. Some people said in the discussion forum on net, that the group which won (Kabát) got so many votes just because all their fans were voting. Gipsy.cz were one of the favorites, but because they were not known, the didnt get selected. Who knows how was it.

Anyways, the song of Gipsy.cz is now very popular, in opposite to Kabat which i havent heard in radios in some time. :=)

So, I am still not persuaded if gipsies are in equal position when competing but i hope that its getting better and Czech people are starting to appreciate good and hard work.


And because I like the new song, here are the lyrics :) Its mix for Czech, English and Gipsy language.

Gipsy.cz

Romano Hip-Hop

Romano hip-hop
Čip hop, čip set
Na mikrofonu Gipsy.cz
V rytmu poď, ať už jsi Rom
Anebo ne, tancujte savore! Hah
Piki piki piki piki piki pom!
Chci, aby každej věděl, že sem Rom!
Že má kapela je romská, tmavá
Že hraje černě a že to černě dává
Tak pojď, čip hop, pojď s náma
Nám je jedno, jestli jsi gádža
Však dokonalej vole není nikdo
O tom je celej romano hip-hop
Hop, čip, mám tady tip
Tancuj, more, nebo budeš bit
Tancuj more, celej den
Hey, všichni, a teď refrén

Ref:
Hop, hop, čip, čit...
Romano hip-hop in the house...
...........

Tu sal gádžo, mange jekh
Hey, de mange baro jack
Amenavas te bašavel
O Bela Bela Bela Avel!
Lavutaris, house pekel pes
Mikrofonos, rapos romanes!
Ale taky česky, hezky
A muzika, ne jen mrtvý desky

Te dikhes bokhale manušes
De les te chal, či jel lačho
Te dikhes bokhale manušes
De les te chal, ať už je cigán nebo gádžo

Tak pamatuj, jak to chutná
Když černá muzika je hutná
Áha, ted je konec sloky...
Tak jó, refrén...

I think it will always be a specific position for the gipsies, either in a negative or a positive way. Many people dont like them, on teh other hand it makes them more interesting for other people...
And to your question("How do you select the songs which you like?
Does the race play role in it?"):
I dont care about the race or nationality or anything, but different culture means different musical feeling, and I know that I like music based on mainly Anglosaxon, but also Slavic (or possibly Ugrofinian:)) roots, and music from Mediterranean areas, Latin America or so called "black" music... thats not for me:)
