Ben Tiberio is an American double bassist and composer who has established himself as a prominent figure on the New York jazz scene. Ben Tiberio is known for his technical mastery, emotionally rich sound, and his versatility across various musical settings—from supporting leading jazz artists to leading his own projects such as "Root Cause."
Kato is one of the most influential figures in Czech hip hop. He is a rapper, singer, composer, producer, and DJ, best known as the main creative force and frontman of the legendary Czech hip-hop group Prago Union (alongside DJ Maro). He began his career in the mid-1990s as a founding member of the pioneering group Chaozz. Pragobřinkostroj presents a hybrid concert format of the Czech hip-hop legend. A selection of Prago Union songs in an unconventional intimate acoustic performance for rap & piano only. Kato's lyrics with re-imagined piano accompaniment by Jen Hovorka. In the case of the performance at Prague Impro Room, supplemented by Marek Urbánek, a drummer, among other things, in the live band of the same band.
