Buty is a Czech music group originally from Ostrava, formed in 1986 by Richard Kroczek and Radek Pastrňák from the bands U238 and B komplex. The founding members were joined by Vít Kučaj, Ivan Myslikovjan, and Luděk Piásečný. The name of the group means "shoes" in the local dialect.




Background and history


The group's musical style is eclectic, mixing rock and folk with other styles, including world music, country, jazz, reggae, and others. The group became popular in Czechoslovakia at the beginning of the 1990s, and their popularity peaked at the end of that decade, when their concerts attracted audiences of thousands and they were among the most popular bands in the country. Buty recorded music for Jízda, a 1994 road movie by Jan Svěrák, which also features the band leader Radek Pastrňák in one of the main roles; the band's album PPoommaalluu is partially a soundtrack for the movie.
