King’N’Doom is a unique project by Pavel Šmíd and Martin Píro along with Rustical Records—their recording studio and label. This album of original works takes its musical inspiration from a living dialogue between African and Czech musicians.
It all started when the two met the Senegalese world music giant Cheikh Lô during the Czech Music Crossroads at the Colours of Ostrava festival in 2018. A spontaneous recording of a song called Jah’rabi, right on the spot in caravan was their first impulse towards creating a whole album with many participating musicians from around the country and the world.
