Kaftan Smeha

The Kaftan Smeha's musical style can be defined as an avant-garde blend of progressive and art rock flavoured with elements of industrial, ethnic, jazz and funk music. The onstage show in the manner of absurdity theatre is an unseparable part of the band's concept. Each of their performances features conceptual videos, shadow theatre, animation, permanent decoration and costume changes. During the show the group uses a great number of stage props, musical and lighting equipment.
Press reviews:
"Happening" is the right word to describe the style which the progressive rock theatre Kaftan Smeha performes in. This unique art house project embraces almost all kinds of art: theatre, cinema, poetry, painting and music, of course."
They call themselves actors, not musicians, they call their gigs performances. It's a rock band and theatre at the same time.
All seven musicians of the group are real artists. Their onstage madness arranged by voices and instruments is extraordinarily convincing and catching.
An amazing theatrical performance, a post Pink Floyd combination of chamber rock opera, absurdity theatre and avant-garde dumb-show. You can hardly imagine that such an uncommercial genre allows to create such a complicated show and highly professional musical performance nowadays.
