CD of Milan Lasica (famous Slovak actor and entertainer) and Peter Lipa called "Lipa singing Lasica" is expected to be issued during 2005.
Milan Lasica - known widely as an actor and author of theatre plays - is also great music lover. The amount of music texts written by Lasica is unexpectadly large and unknown to public.
After the years of accidental co-operation between the two artists who are not only of the same generation but also of the same music roots - Lasica had written excellent texts of several most popular Lipas songs, as Podobnosť čisto náhodná (o synovi) Accidental simmilarity (about the son), Prosperita Prosperity or Balada o štyroch koňoch Ballad about four horses - Lasica offered another 15 texts to be interpreted and recorded by Lipa.
Lipa realized the CD with his long-term more than 10 years music partners /Juraj Tatar, Marcel Buntaj, Martin Gaspar, Michal Zacek/ and vocalists Rado"Vrabec"Orth ex. Isabelle , Made to Mate) and Jana Kirchner. The sound of the CD is very heterogenous - from electronic to acoustic music, and more-less short songs. Co-authors and producents of the songs are bassplayer Martin Gaspar, pianist Juraj Tatar and Peter Lipa jr., the song "U Doktora" "By a Doctor", is recorded with Mango Molas band. On the CD participates as a musician and did arrangements of two songs one of the most popular Slovak trumpetters Juraj Bartos: "MUSIC USA" is a memorial to the "old times" spent by listening to banned radio-program. CD will bring the premiere duet of Peter Lipa and Milan Lasica...!!!
