Thursday, September 24 in Bratislava, he lived through music. Famous faces and the media met at the christening of Banket’s new album called SLOVENSKÁ STRELA. Singer Richard Müller dusted off the legendary Banquet after 40 years and started musical nostalgia.
The recording of a new musical effort by the group Banket came 40 years after the cult album Bioelektrovízia. Banket was extremely progressive in his time, so he is considered a pioneer of synthesizer and electronic popular music in Slovakia. The singer continues the trend of innovation. They made the music for the new songs as a duo with the keyboard player Remigius Remo Klačanský, all the lyrics are written by Müller.
The singer’s daughter Ema Müller did not miss the baptism, who recorded a joint duet with her father years later. How does he feel after creating a song together?
“Well, this is our new duet after 20 years. The duet we had before, I was 11 years old there. I was very little there, so I said, dad, let’s do a duet. He kind of talked it out and then suddenly wrote us the lyrics of the song Medzi nebom a ženou. I’m very, very happy about it because she’s beautiful. I love that song. In my opinion, she is also beautiful for our relationship.” said Emma.
Thanks to his life in Paris and his family in Slovakia, he connects two worlds. Thinking of returning home permanently? “Now I often go home. I have been abroad for 13 years, I already have my partner there, with whom we have been together for 8 years, so I already have my family there, I have my background there. And the background is so strong that now I couldn’t imagine that I would just leave after those 13 years,” she said, how she perceives it.
“But then again, I have the background here too and I managed to create a home in two places. Maybe I’ll come back, but now I don’t even need it. I’m glad to be back here, for such a short time, I always look forward to coming home, but for now I’m happy there. It is true that sometimes the difference between my lives there and here is big, but I actually chose that too. So I’m not complaining, I’m embracing it,” dodala Ema Müller.
