An exhibition celebrating the legendary protest singer Karel Kryl got underway in Prague on Sunday. The showcase marks two important anniversaries: the 80th anniversary of his birth and 30 years since his death. It aims to highlight Kryl not just as the author of popular songs but as a deeply engaged and critically minded citizen.

“Hello, citizens!” That was how Karel Kryl greeted the audience after his emotional return to Czechoslovakia from exile in December 1989.
