A unique songbook marking the upcoming anniversary of the Velvet Revolution has just been released in Czechia. Initiated by the NGO Díky, že můžem or Thanks, that we can, it contains 17 tracks that capture the spirit of their time, from underground and protest songs to communist-era mainstream hits.

Muchomurky bílé, a song by the legendary underground rock musician Milan “Mejla” Hlavsa, is one of the 17 tracks included in the songbook Písničkou ke svobodě (Through a song to freedom), marking the 35th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution.
