Traband is a Czech band known for its eclectic musical style, which blends elements of folk, punk, rock, and world music. The band was founded by songwriter, singer, and multi-instrumentalist Jarda Svoboda in 1995 in Prague, Czech Republic. Over the years, Traband has carved out a unique niche in the Czech music scene with their innovative and engaging sound, lyrically enriched with storytelling and philosophical reflections, often infused with a poetic sensibility.

Their expansive discography showcases a musical journey that refuses to be pigeonholed, with albums such as "Hyjé!" and the travel-inspired "Road Movie" painting vivid soundscapes that take listeners on an auditory adventure. The album "Přítel Člověka" (Man’s Friend) exemplifies their focus on blending various cultural influences while exploring the relationship between humans and the world around them. Traband's body of work is a testament to their commitment to creativity, artistic evolution, and the exploration of humanity through music, as further evidenced in offerings like "Vlnobeat" and the reflective "10 Let Na Cestě" (10 Years On The Road), celebrating a decade of their musical journey. Their music not only resonates within the Czech Republic but also reaches an international audience, attracted by the band's ability to transcend language barriers with their universally appealing sound.
