Neboj, Dychej, Caruj - The story of David Stypka

synopsis

David Stypka was not only an exceptional musician but also a sensitive observer of the world. He sought beauty in ordinary moments and found light even in the darkest times. His music inspires people across generations. Who doesn’t know songs such as “Jericho”, “Kříž” or “Dobré ráno, milá”, his duet with Ewa Farna? Yet few knew him as he truly was—how he lived, created and faced the difficult hand life had dealt him.
