Description

More about the title

The idea to record lullabies originated in 2015, when he was exactly as old as our eldest son Jonathan Amos – fourteen. It took me this long to get them to be recorded for our (and other) children. I thank my friends and great musicians – Boris, Braňo, Marcel and Štefan, who have helped me. We are united not only by professional and friendly relationships, but also by the fact that we are all fathers of smaller or bigger children.

Lullabies from Slovakia – western, central or eastern, but also Ruthenian, Moldovan or even a Croatian one. Each of the musicians were tasked to choose lullabies that spoke to them directly, to which they have a personal relationship. And they each arranged them to their liking.

This created songs that do not underestimate the child as a listener. On the contrary, they value him or her as a precious treasure that can develop with every note heard and played by us. The fact that children can listen to these songs at the most intimate moment, while falling asleep, is our privilege and responsibility to bring something special.
