To the podcast on the web Off Record with musician Teri Čikoš a well-known Slovak musician recently accepted an invitation Igor Kmeťo Jr., who is one of the most popular faces of our art scene.
Slovaks also know him from his many years of work in the band Kmeťoband alongside his father, but years ago he broke through with a successful solo career. Kmeťo Jr., who currently commutes between Spain and Slovakia, has collaborated with many famous names such as Rytmus, Dara Rolins, Tina and others. It was the hit with Rytmus that stuck in the memory of many Slovaks.
The instrumental version of the now legendary song Amen Savore was performed by Igor Kmeťo Jr. prepared for another artist. After his brother’s words, he considered Rytmus, who was a member of Kontrafakt years ago. They saw each other constantly at the Music Box music station, which played their hits.
So he invited him to his home, the rapper was brought by an acquaintance of theirs. “So he brought him to me, we met Pať, we immediately fell in love, the same blood type, I started playing him songs, of course, he told me that he recognized us, he saw us on Music Box.” he revealed about their first meeting.
When he played him the instrumental for the song Amen Savore, Rytmus’ reaction was supposed to be positive and he convinced him to record it with him. “So we recorded it, and when we released it, people’s reactions were so weak that they didn’t understand it. We came up with something they couldn’t define. The whole thing was so weird.” described uncertain feelings.
Then it came! “But half a year, a year passed and it became a hit. Wherever we went singing together with Pať, people simply all knew it.” he added to the famous hit that people fell in love with.
