Patrola Šlapeto

Patrola Šlapeto is a band of Czech folk and cabaret music formed in 2001[1] by Radan Dolejš (a long-time leader of the former band Šlapeto, active since 1989[2]) and Karel Hoza (a long-time leader of the band "Pražský pouťový a promenádní orchestr").

It was set up as a "Šlapeto Revival Band" of the same style of Czech pub and music hall/cabaret songs known as the "Old Prague songs" (staropražské písničky) epitomized by Karel Hašler.[3][4]

The lineup of both bands varied over time.

The band Šlapeto (1989-2005) was established by Radan Dolejš (guitar), Jiří Pánek (double bass) and Ivo Zelenka (accordion), soon expanded with other members.[5]

The band Šlapeto was three times recipient of the Annual Czechoslovak music awards (now Anděl Awards) in 1996 (Česká Gramy), 1997 (Výroční hudební cena) and 1998 (Akademie populární hudby) in the category of folk and wind music. It also issued 4 golden records.[6]
