The Czech Nightingale Awards, Český slavík, are the country’s annual popularity poll for singers and bands, decided entirely by public vote. This year, Ewa Farna triumphed among female singers for the third consecutive year, also claiming the overall top spot. Other familiar names also reinforced current trends in Czech music, with rock band Kabát winning the group category for the 15th time, defending last year’s title, and rapper Calin (Călin Panfili) claiming the hip-hop/rap award for the third year running. One surprise was Václav Noid Bárta, who won the male singer category for the first time. Bárta is also known as a composer, producer, songwriter, actor, and frontman of the metal band Dymytry. The Objev roku (Discovery of the Year) award, reserved for emerging talent, went to Czech-Vietnamese rapper, singer, and songwriter Renne Dang. His 2024 album Problémy v ráji blends pop, rap, and punk-rock.
