Augustin Herman (*1621 Mšeno near Mělník, †1686 Bohemia Manor, USA), the first known Czech settler in America.

Peter Nagy in Australia (Peter Nagy v Austrálii)
http://czechfolks.com/2009/10/27/peter-n
By Barbara Semenov
Melodies that bring a smile to your face, clever lyrics and recitation “charged” with a peculiar charm - no wonder that the compatriots in Australia evaluated a concert by Pe...ter Nagy as one of the coolest they have ever experienced here.
Again, I had an opportunity to participate in the implementation of the Melbourne tour, organized in October in Sydney Australia by, as usual, an impresario Peter Vitek. Unlike singers Karel Gott, Helena Vondráčková, Marta Kubišová, and Olympic that we presented to Czech and Slovak viewers living in Australia in the past ten years, a Slovak singer Peter Nagy is not as known in the former exile since the beginnings of his artistic track dates from 1983.Read More

Totalitarian Regime Does Not Belong to the 21st Century! (Totalita do 21. století nepatří!)
http://czechfolks.com/2009/10/25/totalit
This is the title of a social event that is taking place in Prague. Some of you may think it is an ironic tit...le since the Communist party rules in the current Czech Parliament; however, the event is reminiscent of the communist era of the last century, when both countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia were united as Czechoslovakia and the country was “sheltered” by the powerful Iron Curtain. The event itself is directed to the public of all ages; however, the major contributors to the event are in fact children and young adults that did not live during this era in Czech and Slovak history.Read More
