The all-female band BraAgas climbed up to the bronze notch of the prestigious WMCE charts. The album “O ptácích a rybách” (i.e. About Birds and Fish), released this year, appears in the charts for the second time. They reached the 14th place in May. Their current third place is a great award from the music professionals who make up the World Music Charts Europe. The last placement in the top 3 was by Reprezent from Gipsy.cz nine years ago. 

The World Music Charts Europe is set up every month based on the votes of more than 40 music journalists, who play the world music on their radios in 20 countries. BraAgas have a number of awards for their previous albums in the Czech Republic. In 2009, the album TAPAS was awarded with the local “Anděl” (i.e. Angel) awards in the World Music category. In 2012, the album Fuerte was nominated for the same award and in 2014, the album Yallah! got awarded with an “Anděl” in the World Music category. This placement in the WMCE is for BraAgas quite a significant success in Europe.

The all-female band BraAgas offers beautiful rivers and dreamy skies on their new album called “O ptácích a rybách” (i.e. About Birds And Fish). On their sixth album, the ladies explore new ground thanks to these Czech songs. After a long musical hunt, the band finally returns home from other parts of Europe. They produced all thirteen songs, which come from the Czech-Moravian BraAgas song books, with their original approach and that has brought them many awards already in the past. In the role of silent witnesses to all the sad stories, the birds and fish gave the whole recording a name.
