Golden Kids

Among Czechoslovakia’s most pioneering pop groupings prior to the crackdown following Prague Springtime of 1968 (and its own after-effects), the Golden Children — composed of past Rokoko Theater users Helena Vondrackova, Marta Kubisová, and Vaclav Neckar — made a name for themselves while the initial Czech group to embrace motion and dynamics in overall performance, marking a change from the typical, that was usually a vocalist standing in a single place rather than making a lot of a display of things. A lot more than that, the Golden Children were a younger pop group, something fairly unheard of around the eastern side from the Iron Curtain through the 1st half from the Chilly Battle. Begun in November of 1968, the Golden Children came collectively after maker and composer Bohuslave Ondracek (aka Boban) recommended towards the three Children that they ought to keep behind the theatre troupe and lay out on a fresh path. Their 1st concert system, Music Package No. 1, was successful, and over another couple of years the Golden Children became strikes and stars within their nation (in addition they performed a well-received display in Cannes, France), liberating two strike albums. Regrettably, the world politics climate was going through a major change in the past due ’60s and early ’70s, as well as the checking brought by Prague Springtime quickly slammed shut. The Golden Children, through coercion and recognized “recommendation,” were forget about by 1970. While Vaclav Neckar would continue to an effective performing and music profession, Kubisová had not been therefore lucky. One tale offers it that there have been doctored photos displaying vocalist Kubisová in a fairly compromising group of positions. Kubisová’s profession would ultimately — after 19 years — rebound, and Vondrackova would continue to an extremely successful pop profession, however the legacy from the Golden Children in the previous Soviet satellite continued to be a testament to the tries to create some self-expression to a repressive amount of time in Eastern Europe.
